I understand you post. (It made me laugh too.)<p>The evidence you have gathered via your own experience has led you to that conclusion. I believe you when you say you haven&#x27;t <i>met</i> a woman better at computer bullshit than you. (Probably because you don&#x27;t meet many women but that&#x27;s beside the point).<p>Right, so the only hole in your argument is that in your life you surely would have at least read about, or heard of smart women, be they lawyers, doctors, academics, scientists, writers, etc. We don&#x27;t need to actually meet those people, we only need to be aware they exist.<p>The numbers game thing may have nothing to do with ability, but other factors such as left-over historical gender roles still influencing young womens career choices. Or perhaps there may well be a natural &quot;dislike&quot; of programming, not because of lack of ability, but because.... it&#x27;s programming. Not exactly the most social of disciplines. Men naturally like to lock themselves away in front of screens, more so than women. There&#x27;s biological differences at work in defining taste in activities.
