I originally started this article with the intention of simply razzing eWeek.com for printing the latest in an endless series of articles asking why there aren't more women in IT/Computing/Engineering/Whatever. But I think the topic has achieved such a broad level of mindshare that it deserves closer examination. A Google search today on the quoted term "why aren't there more women" returns over 16,000 hits - and you find that people are asking this question about science, engineering, rock and roll, blogging, gaming, advertising... the list gets quite long.
It's a reasonable question to ask for any of these fields, but I'm going to suggest that in nearly every case, the following inquiry is so severely biased as to make any conclusions useless.
