I can count a grand total of five women I've ever met in the IT field.Wow, I didn't know that things were that bad in Ann Arbor, MI. No wonder you want to defend the status quo.
In my current job I work directly with 13 people; 4 of them are women. This is not a stellar proportion, but it is something like 30%. In former jobs sometimes there were more, sometimes less women, but a third seems just about right. This would mean I have met about... thousands of women in the IT field. And this is in male-chauvinist Spain, no less.
