A new study by the University of Washington has found that female students are 3 times more likely to enrol on a computer science course if the classroom looks less geeky and more pleb. The authors reckon that women feel they do not belong in the geeky environment. It was also found that boys do not give a fuck what the classroom looks like, in regards to how it effects their interest in enrolling on the course.

Women are achieving less in the CS and tech industries than men, and fewer enrol on introductory CS courses.


Although women are right in one regard: Star Trek sucks.
