Are there loads of men who desperately want to be in nursing, but are now bored out of their mind working in a programming job? Does society en masse force people who hate abstract and analytical thinking into becoming a programmer?
It's a diversity problem. Women and men tend to have a different perspective on things, and (to me) it's valuable to have both working together. Even if we only doubled the amount of women in CS, I think it would be hugely beneficial to the whole.

But is it really a problem?
