Comment Re:Bullshit. Women do not want it. (Score 1) 329
Two things I'd point out: first, that women's interest in these fields has not always been at the current (low) level. Second, that women's interest in these fields is higher (than the U.S. level) in certain other countries. It may be that the female interest level in those countries is the highest we can possibly hope for given the (alleged) cognitive differences between men and women. But even if that's the case, there's still room to improve in the U.S. I'll recommend this academic paper out of Carnegie Melon. Table 13-1 is interesting.
