Why is it in the USA it's so hard to find a woman (forget good-looking) that's into I.T. (info technology: Biochem engineer, EE, CSE, Computer Science, .NET, J2EE, Network Admin, et al etc)?
No wonder I treat women in the USA like objectified buckets of arse!
Most American women however are objectable, meaning I'd object to doing them! hahaha!
Have I lost anybody?

Back in 1980s-1990s, there was a lot of women in the IT field. At my previous job, a majority of our application developers were women, both in-house and contractors. I read that in 1985, 37% of students graduating with computer science degrees were women, compare to 18% in 2008. If you're looking for women in the IT field today, you're in the wrong decade.

But this growth wasn’t consistent. According to a Department of Education report on gender equity, which showed the same 13% and 28% figures for 1970 and 2001, respectively, that latter number actually represents a drop from 1985, when women made up 37% of all computer science students.
