My two cents about the summary:
1) Lack of IT courses in K-12 affects both genders, why make this a female issue?
2) Completely subjective.
3) Pretty much the opposite. There are tons of events for women only, as well as grants and positions that are available for women only or where they’re more likely to get hired than men (so quota is filled).
4) Most of women (as in 99%) in CS don’t suffer this. Even this being of importance, I believe this happens in all industries.
5) Similar to point 3.
6) Well, empower yourself? What do we tell to male nurses then?
