It's a valid question, but I'd like to remind you it's not all or nothing. Is the ideal representation of women in tech (assuming sexism doesn't exist) 50/50?

Is the ideal representation of women in tech (assuming sexism doesn't exist) 50/50? I have no idea, probably not.
Let me offer a counterpoint: I work on a team of 12 people with 0 women programmers. I'm personally convinced that's not ideal. So wherever the finish line is, I don't think we're there.
This NPR infographic seems to support that assertion, at least that seems to make more sense to me than an interpretation where programming became dramatically less attractive to women due to reasons that had absolutely nothing to do with sexism.
