I've often found this to be the case as well. I work for a company that
has an excellent reputation for hiring women (and actually lives up to
that reputation), but when I go to company sponsored optional technical
talks, the demographics of the audience don't match the demographics of
the work force, ie very few women show up. I haven't quite figured out why
this is the case. I'm also on a mailing list for technical women who live
in my home city and based on some of the discussions, I know that many of
them use Linux. However, none of them show up for the Linux Users Group
meetings. I haven't asked them about it yet and I do find it curious.
