couldn't this decline just boil down to general tech (dis)interest? and maybe those gender roles creep in despite all the support to the contrary.
the wiki article above seems a tad ridiculous to me. re: attracting women to tech: "...as well as educational programs targeting women"
why does that even exist as a concept? you either wanna hack the planet or you do not. wtf does gender targetting have to do with it?
it's like math or science imo. if you wanna dance with css3/html5, great, just do it. u wanna be a security expert, get in there. put in the hard work. get interested. be curious.
when you're a godamn male/female ninja you can get the job but being a ninja nowadays requires extra nerd tendencies and interest as opposed to the 'easy' 80s / 90s imo. maybe that's where gender role thing is creeping in? i dunno.
