So, high school sucks in general. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't care.

Sure, but care about the right things, and not construct a gednder issue where thete isn't one. Do you think gender issues are the most important problem schools are facing?

There's a gender issue in the balances of sexes as reported in the article.

I don't know how American schools work, so I can't comment on your question.

Just because not every subject has gender parity does not imply that there is an issue.

Yes. Complete domination might be an issue, though.

What about an all-girls school? It will be interesting to see how many students there opt for Programming subjects.

Obviously there can't be male domination there, because boys are absent.

Try organizing a seminar on programming in some womens only college. Not more than a handful would land up.

Bangalore/Chennai/India, same story throughout.
