You say women aren't interested in computing per se. Can you elaborate on what you believe the reasons for this to be?

- kyberias 14y agoI don't know the reason and I don't care to guess. The same applies to sciences as well. It's certainly not limited to CS or IT.
- phaylon 14y agoI agree, it's a problem of a larger scope. But do you think it has to be like that because of biology or any such reason, or do you think it's a result of historical and social factors? Some people think it might be worth to sacrifice a little so things might get a bit better in the long run, and that every small step counts to be welcoming to anyone. Edit: Note that I ask for either or in the first paragraph because I believe the latter would be a more easily fixable scenario than the former.

Certainly it is plausible that female and male brains are wired at least slightly differently. But there must be some social factors is play as well.
