Sigh. There is no such thing as a "female inclination". I know, it's almost unbelievable, but there's no secret rule book on what women have to like.

I wish I had the answer why women are not interested, but from what I see from inside the industry as well as from what I hear from my non-tech gfs, there are many components.

Missing role models are one of them. Before you go dismiss that off hand because it doesn't fit your world view, how many female role models can you name? How many male ones? Notice something there?

Then there is the fact that quite a few guys get very defensive if you even mention the idea of interesting women in tech. It comes across as not wanting them around.

In my previous industry (games) you can also add in that many places are a frat house on steroids - not too appealing to a lot of women.
