Really, it's the asshats who expect everyone to be huge dorks like them. You wouldn't expect someone in inorganic chemistry to, say, do X-ray crystallography in their bedroom closet, but for some reason women who come into CS programs without having already memorized all the Unix shell commands are treated like morons by their male peers who are just trying to get in their pants anyway.
College isn't about fucking initiative. PhD programs are about initiative and doing your own thing. Master's level stuff is mostly more of the same stuff you got in undergrad except getting a C might as well be getting an F, so they expect you to learn the whole damn curriculum rather than just enough to get by.
Undergraduate courses really are about being told how to figure shit out. You can slide by all the way through junior year sleeping through class and never opening the goddamn textbook because the professors always hold your hand. Senior year you get 400-level, which is kind of nice but it's just watered down classes from grad programs, if you're lucky. (P.S., if you're the 5% of students that actually has initiative, try taking 500-level classes when you're an undergrad.)
And then there's the culture. We know that Prague is just an outpost for
/jp/. You just don't want to see the tomato in the mirror: the reason there are no women in CS is because the men are people like you and me. Just try inviting a woman to your dorm room, it smells like Cheetos and you've got a shit-tonne of PVC miniatures showing their panties at you. And on the inside hook of your closet is hanging a fucking semen-stained seifuku.
