There's essentially no evidence that women are biologically predisposed against CS. There's quite a lot of evidence that social factors do push women away. That doesn't guarantee that there's no biological component, but even if there were, we'd still want to fix the social factors.
- galtwho 11y agoI think the evidence is to the contrary as I mentioned in my earlier comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10372862 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10372862 and the inferences from those evidence is that women are predisposed to studies that involve human interactions and very less evidence that social factors play a part... infact it is in unequal societies( relatively speaking) where social factors play a part that forces women to consider professions like CS.
