You do realize that this is a Western societal phenom? I work with women who are from India and China. Quite a few of them in fact. What is different in their cultures that they have so many women in this field and we do not?

Yes I've noticed that in the "Women in IT" phenomenon. That doesn't really explain tech startups, though. All the Indian and Chinese engineers I know work for established, stable companies.
