I don't think that technology is the only industry thats short of females. Probably the only sector showing an obvious oversupply is the service industry. Not that I mind... but I think that we are mostly disgruntled about the shortage of grrrl geeks because we are.. well... geeky. Girls are less attracted to pale, skinny (or obese), poorly dressed geeky types; this is a biological bias I think and there's not much we can do about it.
But really, I dont think we should consider ourselves terribly "special" just because we have a poor male/female ratio.
