I found this article lacking in concrete suggestions. What can be done to improve the situation? Should we paint the walls of CS classrooms pink? Hire female architects to design the engineering buildings on university campuses?

Maybe one of the reasons for the gender disparity in software engineering in particular is that it revolves around logical analysis and direct steps from problem to resolution, while women are (stereotypically) more adept at emotional reasoning than logical reasoning. If so, what, if anything should be done to correct this?
