>I also find that America is completely in denial about the status game, where as other countries are more honest about it (i.e. people will actually tell you)
I've found that IT has much higher status in other countries than it does in America. American women want men who are lawyers (or politicians), doctors, or business executives, not engineers or IT people. In other countries, women don't all have an automatic stigma against IT, because they know it pays well.
