It's cultural. Women in the US are discouraged as children from entering math and science related areas. It might be happening in the classroom, but I suspect it's happening in the home, too. Since mothers are role models for daughters, I suspect the problem feeds itself. If mom's not a computer person, then her daughter probably won't be, either.
I think it's striking how many women in Eastern Europe pursue Math, Science, and technology related careers. It's not considered unusual or "unladylike" in those countries, so there are many more women in those fields.
Why is the web design and web development industry so 'male dominated'?
Yes, i think its both genetic + environmental conditioning!
Reply:Most likely because men are "left-brain" dominant (logic and spacial ability).
Many women are math/science oriented and shouldn't have a problem getting into that field.
Reply:Because, for whatever reason, women don't want to sit in front of a computer all day, for the most part.
Men don't mind this. I spend about 10 hours everyday, unless I'm on vacation.
