Such bunk. I spent thousands of hours fighting with computers due to obsession, certainly not because I had some notion that it was important or that it would be considered a good occupation 20 years in the future. I was practically living a double life as a computer bodybuilder, despite the reaction society gave me about it. When I look back over how I got good at computers and programming, I see no reason women could not have done the same thing. Yet most didn't. Why they didn't, I don't know. Sexism could probably stop a woman from being in construction, but not so much programming. Let's stop with these persecution myths.
