I don't know why women don't want to go into computing as a field.
I DO know that both of my daughters do not want to go into computing like their Dad. I have asked them this directly.
For whatever reason, they do not have an interest in computing. This is not for lack of effort. I have never withheld resources from them from using and working on any of our computers, and in fact they participated willingly when I coached the lego robotics team in our town. But programming just isn't their thing. They just weren't interested in it.
I'm not going to force them and I'm not going to blame society. Boys and Girls are different and no matter how long people try to pound out those differences they aren't going away.
I have worked with many women who work in IT and programming and many of them have been excellent coders/engineers/analysts.
Is it possible that all the women that want to be in computing choose computing and its just a fact that women don't choose to do computing as often as men do, and could it be possible that that really isn't actually a big deal?
