This article makes it sound like IT is dominated by blokes who don't want women around them. This couldn't be further from the truth - if anything a lot of techie blokes are frustrated that there don't seem to be many women who take an interest in IT, and worse that many women perceive IT people as boring geeks.

Sure the industry could do more to attract women, but please don't make it sound like there's some deliberate attempt to keep women out. Nobody is stopping women from taking CS at uni - so why do so few women choose to take it ?
