Re: We're probably not as different as you might think

Awfully quick to jump to the societal gender expectation excuse, aren't we?

A clear shift of women away from tech could be explained by any number of factors. The changing nature of the tech industry, not to mention it's increasing size, or other competing opportunities becoming more available to women. Any of these seems more likely than what is implied by what you claim, which is that young girls being corralled into "feminine" occupations is happening more today than it did in the past.
