Women in startups...Where are they?

I've noticed that all of the "Leader" postings are, or seem to be(by screen name) male, and was wondering where all the women are? if you're female hacker let me/us know your thoughts...


Here are some stats showing that younger women are closing the gender gap in high tech startups (although there's still a long way to go)

I bet women are asking the same question about guys on their Mika message boards.


What is a Mika?


(typing over the hoards of screaming girls that are messaging me in his forum right now)

Mika is almost like a certain children's television show character, except instead of a purple dinosaur, you have a Nick Carter-pre Tommy Lee phase substitute.

It's where I go to wind down.


blored, ever heard of Prince Albert in a bottle?


not really


We're here, and we perceive heirarchies differently than you do.
