I don't quite follow how you extrapolate, you'd end up with the argument that males wouldn't come into computing as it's lacking females in general. Non machismo ridden males, (IMHO) enjoy the opportunity to express and develop their skill while not tied up in such a mono-brain cell environment. Having been a truck driver, a pipeliner, and an oil rigger in my past, I know this is definately true in my expirience.
What I was attempting to point out was that women have more options. I guess, more specifically, I was referring to marriage and child rearing as avenues to feeling sucessful and thereby elevating self-esteem. As a male that never had a desire to be the 'provider' and yet has been essentially the sole provider for the last 20 years to a wife and 3 kids, probably a bit of my jealousy/angst underlies the argument, but I don't think that bias overrides the underlying opinion.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
