A comment on Alpha male programmers aren't keeping women out. Parent comment
But like DHH, I don't think it's anything to do with male programmers. They act no worse than men in other fields, maybe better.
And I don't think this problem is programming specific. It also happens in math, physics, and a variety of other fields.
So, where is this bias coming from? Who teaches girls to take up girly interests? I think it's primarily their mother.
This ought to change. http://www.takingchildrenseriously.com/
