I always wondered why there were less women in Information Technology, as a field. Why do you think that is?

I believe one reason why there are fewer women in information technology is due to stereotyping and biases; women often face negative gender representations in tech that can deter them from pursuing a career in the field. Women are also often times not exposed to or encouraged to explore technological fields at the same rate as their male counterparts, leading to fewer females who are confident and comfortable pursuing a career in IT. Additionally, cultural values and norms around gender roles may restrict females from entering into these traditionally male-dominated fields.
