As another reference, when I look at github contributions, I can't remember seeing 1 female.

Perhaps there is an overrepresentation of males, because there are more males that contribute/work in IT?

Eg. First page of people in .net contains 1 female and 19 males: https://github.com/orgs/dotnet/people

And I was waiting till downvotes. But even the github opensource survey mentions only 1/20 are female ( which is perfectly aligned with my example)

Too bad some people don't accept facts anymore. They should fix the root causes, eg. make coding for women more popular.
