In my computer science and systems courses, I had ummm one female teacher, and it was for Visual Basic, which is Basically really really easy. Also the accounting courses were all taught by men, as was economics. The only department that I thought was fairly divided (that I took part in) was English/Lit. Oh, and my calculus teacher was female and DAMN HARD, but fair.

I'd love to see mor female teachers out there, but I guess it just takes time.
Actually it's getting worse. Computer Science is the only field of engineering where the % of women has been declining for the past decade or two, and now its down to the level it was in the 70's.
Something makes computer science different than other engineering fields somehow.

On a second note, amongst all of the computer science people in the industry that have a college degree other than computer science, most of them have a degree in Music!
