The women who are beating their "bosoms" to get more attention, probably come off as irritating to some people. But the matter of the fact is, IT "is" a male dominated field. It's not just about women equality in the sense that they should be treated "equally" and not "fairly". As long as the balance of representation is tipped towards men, these women, however loud and tangential they might be, are needed. They are like lightning bolts attracting debate. If everyone just shuts up, there is danger of passively moving back to an even more male dominated sector.
