From 2014 — still depressing & hopeful: "Berkeley is an exception: according to the [NSF], just 18.4% of computer science degrees were given to women (as of 2010), a trend that has been steadily decreasing since 1991, when it was a more impressive 29.6%." http://tcrn.ch/NifsFq
So I have no idea about the first part, maybe true, maybe not. But REALLY not sure that more girls/women in undergrad is good for the pipeline given my experiences and the data. We've 90/10 women/men in psych UG, yet 50/50 at phd level, and then 10/90 women/men at prof level.

So even when it's mostly women going in, it's all pretty much men at the higher echelons.

It's just a guess, somewhat tongue in cheek, as to something that might contribute despite the overall decline. And yes, absolutely, intro level enrollees means nothing if they're mostly chased out within 2 to 4 years :[

To do well at research you need maths, which sadly women tend to be more phobic of for real reason except stereotype threat, and lack of chances earlier in life. It's no coincidence people are more "forgiving" with me: I have an UG in CompSci. Technical skills are lacking.
