The nerd subculture is composed of White males among others, and certainly not dominated by them. It's funny you say nerds have a misogynistic dark side because often a group of nerds first congregate because they weren't interested in spending effort to be popular or attractive and so were a group of rejects and misfits hanging out with each other. You can force some women into 'nerd culture' to make it diversified but then the misfits and rejects are only going to leave and make another group because, well, they're rejected and seen as misfits by the other people you forcefully put in there. The same will occur in the tech industry, as you forcefully insert people from other subcultures into the tech industry, rejects and misfits that first started the industry up will be, well, seen as misfits and become rejected, and will thus leave. The tech industry will become more diversified and conformist, and the misfits and rejects will move on to other things, and then some big wave of change will come from those other things, and those other things would be full of misfits and rejects who happen to be white males, (well america is majority white, what else do you expect), and then we can start this misogyny debate all over again. You can't force everyone to work well with misfits and rejects. Though you can kick out the misfits and rejects, there will always be misfits and rejects, if not here, then they will be somewhere else, working on what society has ignored, so far.
