text: I see, so since the first 6 programmers were women then there's been a drastic decline over the last 50 years from 100% down to whatever % we're at now... is that what you're saying? How about looking over the last 30 years when computer science became more prominent and the population size of programmers became large enough to make statistical observations. What have the enrollment rates been over the last 10, 20, 30 years? If it's been declining over that period then I think you've got a point worth discussing.
