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

I almost wonder if like, with the skyrocketing cost of education, more parents with 2+ kids are choosing just to send the girls to higher-ed since they're more likely not to squander the opportunity. Which, I mean, is good news from the pipeline problem perspective at least.

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.
