Maybe you're right, (maybe) all the women statistically disappearing from the computing field are moving to other engineering and science jobs. We could throw any number of untested theories at that simple statistic.
Honestly though, that's irrelevant because WHERE they're going is not what I'm addressing. It's WHY, and HOW can we reverse the trend of anti-diversification in the computer industry? If they're leaving for other industries, even scientific ones, there's nothing wrong with the individuals choice but there's something less-desirable about the computer industry, and I doubt it has anything to do with the raw content of a computer related job.
