I actually know as many woman who disagree with having programs like these than woman who agree. It isn't black and white.

I know loads of women who are damn good in technology, yet have been told of numerous times to focus on something else. This happens really often, hope I don't have to argue on this.

To make it into a car analogy. If someone pulls the car to the right loads of times, you can hope for the car to head in the same direction as it went before. This outreach program is a small pull to the left.
