Come on now.  As far as I have seen so far, the women in most CSE classes
that I have either taught or given have been more enthusiastic then the men.
There is a large problem (that I used to run into in math classes) that the
teachers will ignore the women, giving more of their attention to the men,
and thus finally discouraging the women.
