I don't know. I'd rather put it on the fact that women who actually decide to go into CS/IT are actually more interested in it, since they're breaking out of their traditional "comfort zone", as opposed to guys who just hop on a bandwagon. On an average uni (and probably in an average company too), you'll find a bunch of great girls, the same amount of great guys, and a multitude of mostly males who didn't know what to do after high school, but they were pretty good with computers, so there.
