Collide this story with Clay Shirky's piece, on hacker news two days ago: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1056689" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1056689</a><p>What flies out of the wreckage is the idea that it is not really about, in Clay Shirky's words, "Not enough women are arrogant self-aggrandizing jerks." The issue is actually how to triumph over imposter syndrome. Men are doing it by "cheating" and claiming to be able to do things that they actually can do even thought they think they cannot and are merely imposters. Women are failing to triumph over imposter syndrome.
