...which is why there are more guys in IT than women, and I'd guess (not actually looked at the official stats) that would be why there are more females in nursing. The same is true for differing personality types
So why do people feel the need to create and artificial sense of "equality" by wanting to ensure that there's a 50/50 split? If more women want a career in IT - great! But attract them through education and motivation - not legislation!
