> ....brainwash young women into fulfilling their own political goals

It is not a matter of brainwashing. It is a matter of giving young people the tools to overcome the intrinsic bias they encounter.

My experience of computer science labs in the 1990s were testosterone drenched pits of bullying and bragging

It was not just women put off by that. Brilliant women were not, they achieved. It was the average women, and average indigenous, average queer, etcetera who were driven out.

It is not sustainable to keep out people who do not look like, sound like, and smell like the main stream.

"brainwash young women into fulfilling their own political goals" Pfftttt
