How many male geeks you know who got tons of girls growing up? Most male geeks I've met push themselves by telling themselves that one day they'll make money and then they'll get the girls (or something like that). They are also probably not very popular and look for something to focus their attention on. I'd also point out that most aren't getting positive encouragement because the girls they're attracted to are screwing around with the bad boys or the jocks (during a boys sexual prime). I fail to see how boys are getting this great encouragement in STEM relative to what girls get. By the way, the girls shouldn't expect boys to give up their computer time for their sisters. That's part of the issue. He lives for it and she wants to use it now and then.
