I agree, it has to be something else than geeky guys steering women away from technology... Personally I see that as a kind of shallow cop out. For one thing women are very bright and have the abilities to learn about technology to the point of manipulateing it to her satisfaction. I dont see why any woman wouldnt want to explore that further. It cant be the men because I myself have met some "geek" guys that are down right hotties and besides, who wants a dumb jock? the geeks make all the Money! not that a woman couldnt make her own living from technology, I do. However, It does depress me to see less women finding their way through technology and more women doing typical things like nursing and the likes. I just think that most girls out there are intimidated by the lack of respect women get in the field. Im not saying in all places its like that, but most woman have to work very hard to get the same respect. It's commendable if you ask me.
