Women in Computing

The fact that there are many fewer women than men in computer science is, in my opinion, much less of a problem than many people think. In recent years it seems to me that people have started interpreting gender equality as gender sameness. I believe strongly in equality for women, but that does not make them just like men. It seems to me that the most likely reason there are so few women in computer science is because few women like it compared to men. We're not keeping women out of computer science, they just don't want to be there.
