The graph often shown about the gender breakdown of Computer Science vs. other studies is misleading - the reality is that the percentega was unusually high in the 80s, and now it's converging to the gender ratio of engineering.

In fact, as another article by the same author shows, this concern is probably overblown, if not outright irrelevant - women are heavily overrepresented in many college degrees, but noone cares. Sexism?
