Women in Computer Science were never the problem. I've never met a female Computer Scientist that was any less qualified than their male Computer Scientist peers.

The problem in IT was created in the late 1980s and 1990s when women with EDU and SOC degrees, or no degree at all, invaded the IT world at the management levels using affirmative action mandates, and destroyed any credibility remaining in the management, systems, and project processes.

I think that's it. It's hard to find an IT woman these days who doesn't come from that "soft skills" background...and IT is short on real CS people, anyway, being an applied technology area.
