Totally agree with matthewowen's comment above. Also, as a woman in tech, I hear all the time that "women just aren't as interested in computer science as men are," yet in my experience that's not at all the case. In India (where CS is not seen as something that predominantly boys do) 55% of CS degrees go to women. In the 1960s people said, "women just aren't as good at playing instruments as men because they don't have the lung power;" when blind auditions were introduced the number of women accepted into major orchestras tripled overnight. There are a lot of examples of people assuming women "just aren't interested" and that changing very rapidly when cultural barriers and discrimination is removed.
