I have a sneaking suspicion that girls like high powered, glam jobs in general. Programming is neither. Unless they really want to stick it to the man, they'll leave that career alone.
For girls that doesn't apply to, there are better ways to apply math and science skills.
The rest just don't like technology.

I know one, but most don't like this tech stuff, maybe it's too hard for them?
Girls are about taking guys' money, not making their own

out of 80 students in my first year programing class, there couldn't have been more then 10 women. However, the following year 40 of the 80 students dropped and became business majors, only one of them was female, the rest stuck with the class. This would suggest that; while there are few women interested in the profession, those that are seem highly dedicated/intelligent/and or stubborn.

First year Software Development there is one female student, and about 6 overall in the rest of the computer science departement, First year courses.

Didn't 20/20 do a story about gender? The problem starts earlier. During Jr. High and High school, there are math and science teachers that will basically ignore the girls in the class or make snide remarks.

If a woman makes it through a CS/Math program they are either pretty good. It is hard to fuck your way through a mid term ;) And you gotta have calzones to make it through.

I had a lot of females in my computer science department when I was an undergrad. Like 9 of them were towelheads )ick) or Armenians (EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW), 3 of them were butchier than a lumberjack's hairy 20 inch penis with a plaid Harley Davidson scarf around its balls, and like... and 3 more were actually attractive... but 2 were already married, and the one nonmarried attractive woman was a lesbian who actually flirted with me and hung out with me because I look kind of girly, but she still wouldn't go further than that. I wasn't suave enough to make her go bi.

Reminds me of a final project I did in HS back when they taught QBasic... and I wrote an airline seat reservation program.
12 pages printed out, got an A on it because it works.... even though the comment on the returned printout said that the grader had no idea how it worked :D

I was very very interested in programming when I entered college.
I took a class in Pascal and c++ before entering college, and received As in both classes. I can fix and service all of my windows machines, and have some understanding of linux. Oh, and mac, but that's not a computer. heh.
So here I was, at college, and I get stuck in this foundation compsci class with 40 guys and 2 sissies, and the guys dominate the back row and look at porn or game or generally be pretty damn distracting, while the two girls other than myself are scared shitless about variables and functions and nearly ready to cry because the fucking professor wouldn't give the girls ANY fucking attention.
Got my first B in that class, realised it was hopeless, and changed my major to math education. haven't looked back since.
...What the fuck are you doing going to classes anyway?

I once went to a college where people in the back row would play games (how do you know they were looking at porn anyway?), then I clued in and went to a decent university.
See, at a decent university, the students that show up give a damn, and the professors don't tolerate stupid shit. Some of my classes even forbid anything outside of pen and paper.
Garbage in, garbage out.

Female brain is for language and social interaction and emotional expression -> art, psychologist, business management (groups), medicine (nurturing), law (arguing), advertising.
Male brain is for visual imagination and ambition -> engineering, design, imagining the parts of a software system working together, math, political campaigning, making MORE money with BIGGER factory.

No, you went from a shitty university to an average university. At a good university, professors are too eccentric to be strict, and some of the students play games/porn in the back while recording the lecture so they can learn/review the material when they want to.

Language center is above left ear and much larger in female brain. Vision center is in the back and much larger in male brain.
