Re: We need more women!!!
by Thomas on Friday 11/Jan/2008, @14:26

In my (computing graduate) school, the number of women has been on par with the number of men during many years (70s and 80s basically). They were even around 60% some years. But their number began to dwindle in the 90s, to become less than 10%. They are almost 25% now so it's better but it's still unbalanced. (But most of the teachers are still women.) According to some people they began to flee when the socially challenged geek cliché became widespread. But still, it means that the situation is far from being unrecoverable.

But when talking about men/women differences, bear in mind that more often that not, personal differences are greater than gender _average_ difference.

Women are no more sensitive to public opinion than men are. Jeez, what a bunch of patriarchs in this thread.
