How about looking at more blue collar industries and see if your theory holds up. Say auto mechanics...I doubt there's a "problem" in that industry that keep more women from becoming mechanics. I can't tell you why most women are not that interested in cars, let alone working on them, but I know that it's true. The same could be said for garbage collectors, oil rig workers, etc.

I've worked in tech all of my adult life and I rarely see women in this field. The few that have come through my places of work usually stay to get some basic computer experience and then move on to whatever they wanted to do in the first place. I have yet to meet a woman that has the same passion for all things tech that I and a lot of my male friends have.

But let's say you're right...how would you propose that tech companies generate more interest that would appeal to women? I mean we all know women love to USE technology, apps, games, etc., but how can we get them to crossover to the side of creating, maintaining and supporting these things?
