RE "What do we do about it..."

Personally speaking, they're probaly just being smart and not wanting to go into jobs that are so completely stressful and therefore will rpobaly live longer lives then we will. Damm that sucks!!!


""...and why do we care? While I like working with female techies (my sister is one), the fact is that few women want to do that kind of work and a disproportionate percentage of the female population is technophobic.

I think reasonable steps can be taken to address the latter problem (which would help the former), but I don't think affirmative action programs (in any form) would do the slightest bit of good.""
