> Your article shows that teachers were making girls feel unwelcome because they didn't understand the cultural in-jokes.

I wonder if anywhere has tried running a female-only CS path (e.g. at a private non-coed institution) long enough to generate its own identity/culture, and then what would happen if you "transplanted" some of those teachers and students into a mixed-gender situation.

Could that "prime the pump", providing a cultural anchor point for more females in the mixed-gender place?
