<i>its the difficulty and complexity of such a system that makes it naturally an ol'boys thingy</i>

If I were a woman, that comment would have pushed me away.

Yes, its a known fact that boys like to tinker with more complex things, including when that thing is simply pointless.

For example, its a known fact that violant games are designed for boys... this why girls (in general) don't like playing them.

Its does not have any thing to do with who is better than the other.

Its important that we understand, that our actions as a community, and our expectations could be the real reason why feminine contribution is minimal.

Please take what I say in a good well.

puh-lease. in the mainstream industry the numbers are something like 30% women in software. in some countries like malaysia the number of women getting management and technical degrees is greater than the number of men.

yes, there are gender biases (which don't always line up with your gonads, btw) but we are far away from the much smaller differentials those biases may create.
