Incidentally, programming isn't the only field with horrible gender inequality. Dietetics/Nutrition and Nursing are dramatic cases with the opposite gender distribution (My wife happens to be in Dietetics). The treatment of guys in dietetics is just as strange as the treatment of girls in programming. None of this absolves the programming community. Just because it's not a unique problem, doesn't mean that it doesn't need to be addressed.
