Americans don't take CS courses anyhow, and the asians and eastern europeans who do tend to come from male-dominated societies. Actually, Asia and Eastern Europe are far less male-dominated than the US. I suppose it has something to do with Communism and how it encouraged equality between the genders long before it was embraced here. In fact, pretty much all the women who study CS in my university are either from Asia or Eastern Europe.
