It could be bad for the IT (/tech/computer/what you prefer to call it) business if roughly half the population don't even see Computer Science/Programming as a possible career path.

This is a very valuable resource that's wasted since if the recruitment base is cut to half, of course the average quality will decrease. Or at least not increase compared to todays situation. Considering the tech business growth , the talent is needed to avoid stagnation. And something that is bad for the business I've chosen to work in (well, in a few years, still has to complete my education), it's potentially bad for me. And that I don't like, so I'd welcome anything that improves the female sex' view of programming as profession.
