I'm always surprised at these claims of women getting over 25% of all CS bachelor degrees. I've given a couple of one day courses to CS students and there weren't any women. In my college days there was one girl (and she considered getting a masters in CS a hobby next to her main occupation, which was med school.)
At conferences with hundreds of attendees I see less than a dozen women, more than half of whom turn out to be the friends or sisters of the organisers.
Is that just my experience? I'm Dutch, but this includes my experiences at JavaOne, RailsConf and EuRuKo.
