So why was comp sci so much more popular amongst women in 1984 than the women of your generation? Why were women three times more geeky 30 years ago? Why would they flee from an industry with a bright future that they seemed to have a pretty firm stake in?

Here's a challenge for you: Can you find me one example of a female game developer who doesn't think her gender is a barrier? Because I only seem to be reading those rare edge cases where actual, working female game developers find it problematic. 


Here's the thing about those statistics when they use percentages it can be misleading, do you have actual numbers of women in those courses because an example is if much more people are doing the courses now then in the 80s then a lower percentage can be misleading much like how 35% of 100 is lower then 10% of 10000, what are the actual numbers? Also you don't need to go to a computer science course to get into gaming as today the are more schemes and dedicated courses for it so I think you're misguided some what on this.
