Nature or nurture?

Why do you think the majority of SC users are male, why is the IT industry mainly a men's world?

It's not that all men like IT stuffs and all women don't get a thing about them, not at all, but basically the industry is fed by men and for men, mostly.

It's really just out of curiosity, I don't intend to launch a gender debate, OK? :)

What do you think?

Like there are more women in the book industry. But I'd like to get to the root reason.

I guess it is matter of interest. More women like to work in PR and Marketing departments. Where they have budget to spend and be creative. He he..

In our office it's very close to a 50/50 split of men and women, and a lot of the retail buyers i deal with are female, so guess it depends which area of the industry you look at.
