The women in tech pipeline is a leaky, toxic pipeline that results in talented women being driven out of the industry.
Of course many women are not that interested in programming. This is obviously true. Because the women who DO get into programming are quickly driven out by the toxic culture. If I were a woman I wouldn't want to be in the tech industry either.
It is a waste of time to focus on widening the top of the funnel, which leads to the toxic pipeline, and will result in most of them leaving anyway. We should focus more on making the industry less sucky for the women who are already here.
Once the toxic pipeline is fixed, THEN women will start being more interested in programming and tech.
