The article provides a lot of interesting questions, but occasionally without enough data to answer them. But maybe the questions are a good starting point, from the perspective of logical deduction.<p>On an additional note, I find it odd that software always gets so much focus: for example, 99 percent of construction jobs are held by males in many countries (and a large portion of these jobs do not involve heavy physical labor, if that is a concern - i.e. heavy machinery operators, foremen (forewomen?) etc ).<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jobs.aol.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;2010&#x2F;07&#x2F;27&#x2F;where-women-work&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jobs.aol.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;2010&#x2F;07&#x2F;27&#x2F;where-women-work&#x2F;</a><p>See link above.  I think we might be asking the wrong question, focusing on too narrow of a field. The better question might be, why do certain fields get dominated by women, and certain fields are devoid of them? I think there is a much broader hypothesis here to be tackled then one concerning a single field.
