Stereotyped thinking continues to impact females' choice for tech careers; study in five European Countries shows Female Students Have Computer Skills but Many Avoid Technology Careers.

http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/2009/prod_062409b.html

According to analysis of the findings, the single most de-motivating factor is the view that the tech sector is inherently better suited to men.
Why?
