I don't know if anybody already made the remark. But I find this issue very similar to the issue of women in science, here is an out of box article: http://philip.greenspun.com/careers/women-in-science http://philip.greenspun.com/careers/women-in-science The general theme is, what if women avoid (computer)science because that kind of career sucks? The question to ask is... why would women want to work 80+ hour workweeks with unpaid overtime - effectively getting a similar salary to a maid (yes I exaggerate a bit!) - they can just go working as maids with less stress. Lets face it. Most of CS companies ain't no Google or Microsoft. And most of CS people don't stand any chance of gaining access to that kind of company - ever. Most of computer people work for retarded PHB's. Any sane person can see that it's much better to be a PHB than Dilbert.
