I am a female computer nerd, geek, whatever, and I've worked in technical support at a university for 3 years. Among college age students, I see as many clueless guys as I do girls. Similarly, I know about the same number of computer literate females as males. It seems that the technologically inclined females simply do not broadcast their nerdliness as much as the guys.
Perhaps in the overall population there is a bigger discrepancy, but I don't see this as a huge problem that requires immediate action.
It is pointless to see this situation as Citibank vs. Linux. It's simply a case of bad html. Someone did not do his homework and test it. I've seen it happen to people who failed to test in different browsers, at different resolutions, etc. It's almost sad that html is so easy to code and browsers are usually so forgiving that people do not even take the time to write something decent.
