I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to seem inflammatory.   More positively, I
think my real question is, "Why are we (almost) *never* meeting girls
who can teach guys to be better programmers?"

That gets to be a complex, sensitive issue.  I guess I'm just
interested in people's thoughts on this, but I suppose that I'm not
surprised at how quickly people want to close down the topic, sadly.
