Yes * 1000. Counting women in tech is no different than counting people with freckles in tech. The second you start taking special measures to compensate artificially for any side, that is called sexism, racism, or ___ism - regardless of whether it favors the minority or majority. No one is holding women back but themselves -- if even that. Women are plenty capable of finding their way into tech without special help, let's not treat them like they are incompetent or need their hand held. Women doctors and lawyers used to be unheard of many decades ago - they did not need any special help to increase their ranks - they did it on their own, naturally.
