As it sits

The IT Game is a man's world. That doesn't mean women can't do the job, they can, but many are not comfortable in the shark tank. Therefore, they do not pursue this kind of job.

I once worked with a woman in IT, and she was treated like one of the guys. One guy we worked with was misogynistic and would make off color/sexist jokes in her presence. One day I asked her if he offended her, and she replied "not really, but, you don't want to know what we women say behind men's backs."
