The thing that bugs me most about articles about "women in CS" is that they seem to ALWAYS ignore the most important contributing factor to why there are fewer women in the field: interest. In my experience at my university, it isn't that women aren't smart enough or dedicated enough to do CS. Its just that they don't find it all that interesting to them.

If I found CS boring, I doubt I'd stick around either, regardless of what the opportunities looked like.
