Decline in Women in IT

Fewer Women in IT than in 1983. I can't find any conjectures from the Commission about why this may have happened:

A study released yesterday by the US Commission on Professionals in Science and Technology found a decline in the share of computer science jobs held by women over the past couple of decades.

In 1983, women held 30.5 per cent of the jobs in the category of computer systems analysts and scientists, programmers and postsecondary computer science teachers, according to the commission. That figure declined to 27.2 per cent in 2002. "

Also another sameoldsameold article from the arriere-garde New York Times about how there are not a lot of women in the games industry, games are too violent, women like the Sims because it is social, yadda yadda. What do Women Game Designers Want?. (BTW the old riff on the catchphrase "What do Women Want?" -- like we're incomprehensible aliens and the assumed voice is male -- is really nauseating.)
