  Yea, the stats say that women are about 5% of the work force. When I go to conferences, there are maybe 10% women who attend. When you then take out all the project managers, graphic artists and business analysts, and just count those who are developers, it's probably around 5%. I've been a developer for about 20 years, and I can count on one hand the number of really good female developers I have known. I love what I do, and I don't think my gender plays a role in the slightest. Women are about the same as men when it comes to logic and math skills. So why are so few women entering this field? It's a great career. So ladies, come on in, the water's fine!
