Correct me if I'm wrong, but men and women are not that far apart. We are all humans who love solving problems.
The ratio of men graduating with CS degrees to women is around 8:1 or 9:1. Do you honestly believe that our genetics are that different?
>> Given this, I'm not sure how you can claim that it's everybody's responsibility to push for more female coders.
Ok, since we can't prove identical dispositions and--who knows? maybe women are 8 times more unlikely to want to solve computer science problems--let's just disregard the imbalance and do nothing. Is that your philosophy?
