You prefer 50/50 but you have no evidence to even suggest that this is the "best" distribution for CS let alone any other major.
Why can't you accept the possibility that females do not like CS as much as males do not like things like nursing or human resources?
If there is a social stigma, should we really force people who normally wouldn't choose it so we can have a 50/50 ratio just because that is the probability to be born as?
Who are you to say that they are happier doing CS instead of what they would've chosen without all this influence?

Again I am not trying to statement my preferences. > Why can't you accept the possibility that females do not like CS as much as males do not like things like nursing or human resources? I did not say I can not. Like any idea I want good evidence and solid understanding to make strong claims. > If there is a social stigma, should we really force people who normally wouldn't choose it so we can have a 50/50 ratio just because that is the probability to be born as? I have not seen anyone make the argument to force people to take CS courses. > Who are you to say that they are happier doing CS instead of what they would've chosen without all this influence? Trying is better then not trying. Influence exist weather intentional or not. Unintentional influences are not inherently better then intentional.
