yeah i can imagine, probably also depends on where you live, and go to school at. For me it was easily 90+ % men. I don't know if there was any overt sexism in the education space (workspace i can imagine there is, but that's just how it is unfortunately), but it's definitely a little imposing walking into a room full of primarily men/women as the other gender and just trying to be normal lol.

I think a lot of the problem, at least historically, is that women just weren't as educated on technology as men, both throughout childhood and education. That's changed over time now, thankfully, but i wonder if it's more influenced by women focusing on more highly educated fields, and men moving out of those fields, and into things like CS that are still educated, but not as much as something like, micro biology, for example.

Personally as a linux user myself, i'm just happy seeing people learn about the technology they use, and learning to utilize it more effectively, possibly even learning how to create it lol. It's an indispensably useful skill to have. Especially with how "stupid proof" modern operating systems like IOS can be. I would like to see more women in the field, but unfortunately i'm not familiar enough with it to make any significant prognosis here. Other than "you should try to self educate in your free time where possible" it might make life more interesting, you never know.
