I've noticed the same, that all but one of the female engineers I worked with were of a far higher standard. That is pretty damning to me though - only those that are really dedicated end up staying. I think it goes to show that the environments that I worked in aren't all that great, and that the 'feeder' channels, third level, other companies, aren't that great for women. The argument that held most sway with me til the recent social media boom was that women were too smart to get involved in IT (more sense to do medicine), but that doesn't seem to hold any water now that other industries are lagging.
