fashion magazines do not make woman a woman just like woodworking magazines do not make man a man. Geek culture is a niche and it is more healthy to deal with it as such, promote stars female and otherwise. I am sick of people being divisive on this issue, we have women coders that like to put make up on and look pretty. However I also have friends, dudes and dudettes who don't really care about tech beyond very easily usable iPhone. Brandishing fact that magazines don't give adverts about iPhones is much like saying that woodworking magazines that do not give adverts about family cars with automatic everything(IMO). iPhone is the easiest phone to use compared to older dial a number phones so I am not sure where argument stands here. As well fashion industry stands by itself as far as I know it and they don't really care to change their ways just because they say so.(re: movie: Devil wears prada). If I subscribe to woodworking or mechanics magazine, I am not sure I'd care to see adverts for game boy or Playstation. Given that I am all for women in technology - however I think that making the rest of the world think(like general purpose womens magazines) is presumptuous that people are into nerdy stuff and computing. my 2c.
