I'll quote it for ya:

Why are so few females interested in ANYTHING related to computers (includes creating music, making movies, programming, etc).
If it doesn't scare hippies, it's not worth listening to

Anyways, back on topic. Consider Computer Science.I can count on two hands the number of girls I have seen in the Computer Science program at my university. A lot of my classes don't even have any girls at all in them. This suggests to me that there may be a lot of girls who use computers.. but they don't use them for the sake of using them, or have any interest in them except as a tool (just like a lot of my males friends actually).

These girls who work at CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, are nuclear physicists. Tell me again why you think women don't like computers?

The problem here is not women. It's men who spend their entire lives in front of a stupid computer screen to the exclusion of everything else and then wonder why the fuck they don't have girlfriends.

I believe the answer to that one is called "getting a life".

Your original post says more about you than it does about women. If you took the time to open your eyes and look at the world around you, you'd see that your preconceptions are patently false.

This is a subject that has to be discussed with care or you might upset some of the faculty at Harvard. Remember Lawrence Summers.

I know what Summers said. I have a Harvard appointment. Just curious about WDLove's hints.
