As a former FORTRAN geek myself-- the disparity has grown since the 1980's-- shockingly so. I was astonished that it was THAT large a difference, and while it didn't bother my DD that she was the only female in her lab section of 48, it did bother her that she was treated the way she was by virtue of being female and not being obsessed SOLELY with coding.

She was taken less seriously by everyone around her because she also has interests in the arts. Apparently-- polymaths need not apply. shocked

That particular attitude worries me in a much larger sense, honestly.

Schrödinger's cat walks into a bar. And doesn't.
