     You may want to think about whether this really was your intended
     meaning.


Sure it was -- men are lazy; programmers are primarily lazy; explains
why programmers are predominantly men (for the time being, at least).
Made perfect sense to me.

That's quite a different statement than "men are more good at it than
women".

But that's not what he said. He said more men are good at programming
than women.

I suck at reading, apparently.

I was a teacher of Computer Sciences for some years.... in my case, women were better programming than men..... but sure, on the IT industry the percentage of men is a lot more than the one of women. Why?
