Men outnumber Women in the "hard sciences", particularly in the Computer Sciences, by orders of magnitude. Why? This has been discussed extensively, and with (as far as I can tell) no solid conclusion. Ideas include not enough daycare services at universities, and making the field hyper-theoretical to accommodate a non-tinkering personality. As I am not a woman (suprise!), I will not pretend to be an authority on this subject. I will say that this will likely not change in the near future, as women seem to be opting out (at least in part).
This makes me sad.
