As a female in Math/CS at a heavy Math/CS/Engineering school, I don't find that girls in CS have made any mistakes. None of the girls *I* know have lost anything by choosing a technically oriented major. In fact, the opposite -- they've gained knowledge and confidence in themselves. (And yes, we're all making nice salaries both on our co-op workterms and after graduation. And so are the boys.)
None of the girls I know consider "feminity" at all important, whether they are in Arts, Science, Math, CS... and although they're ambitious, ambition is not their principal motivator. And they still manage to have good, meaningful relationships with nice guys. Frankly, you are who you are no matter what program you're in.
