It's not hostility or derisiveness, it's just pointing out that it's not just our particular profession that attracts so few women.
A lot of work in all professions is needed to solve this problem and we must devote all of our time to point that out equally.
Hookers for example is another problem area, most hookers are women. Where are all the male hookers?

- Dellort 17y agoNo sarcasm, I really mean we have to commit ourselves to investigate and point out all areas where there is an imbalance. Not just where we would want more women or men, in this instance computer science. I think also there is a lack of women in the fishing industry, out on the boats.
- kaitnieks 17y agoThe question about "male hookers" is fair but the reason is probably more physiological than anything else. I mean most males simply can't sleep with unattractive women (and I hope I don't have to explain the reasons for that - maybe there are medical workarounds for that but I have no idea about the efficiency) while women can. The demand is probably unbalanced, too, but I'm sure it's not completely, um, satisfied on women's side. As long as we can still acknowledge that there are differences and deal rationally with them, the humanity will be all right.
