There is an old maxim that says "you generally find what you are looking
for" which is I think applies to most arguments of this type.
My wife and her best friend are both programmers. Life is what you make
it and success comes through perseverance. This whole discussion is
pompus, childish, and a waste of time, not to mention it that fails to
uderstand what is actually going on in the real world of today where the
majority of new, small, high tech businesses are started by women.
Trot out a soapbox and someone will stand on it. Never fails.
