Here I believe that girls are raised differently than men and that's the main cause of interest in different fields but maybe if we participate in Google Code In we will have much younger contributors and if we get people interested in C++ at a younger age maybe it can solve the problem of gender imbalance in current C++ industry.
You are missing the point, "trying to get more women to participate" is a misguided objective, IMO. Not, because I don't like or want them, but because I think that if women are/would be interested they will/would participate. What I dislike about it that it treats women as if they are somehow handicapped or not able to fend for themselves, which I think is discriminatory in it own right. degski -- *“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop" - Herbert Stein* *“No, it isn’t truth.
