Gender Balance In High Tech

Dave Winer’s thread about gender in high tech continues with this DaveNet piece. Thought provoking reading (as is often the case with Dave). He comments that men are the artists and women are the infrastructure… which could be true, because that historically seems to have been the case. But, now that women are really being given freedom to pursue traditionally male interests, perhaps we’ll see more women on the “artist” side of things.

We may just find that men and women are inherently capable of the same things, but that the real difference is between individuals (regardless of gender).
