According to this, 50.7:49.3. I would not call that "damn skewed". http://www.city-data.com/city/San-Francisco-California.html http://www.city-data.com/city/San-Francisco-California.html Also the same article suggests that 2.2% of households are gay male, while .8% are lesbian. That means the heterosexual ratio is even better. Now I'll grant that it's easy as any place to run in circles that are skewed, and as much as we might wish (and often work) for it not to be the case, there are many more men involved in developing. If you only work and go to tech events (or other heavily gender skewed events, like Magic:The Gathering events), it might seem pretty skewed. But it's really not. There's a lot going on in the city. Even then, "[the] odds are good, but [the] goods are odd" sells developers well short.
