There is still a way to go…. but what will be the answer?

I wonder if we’re still caught in the ‘generation gap’, moving away from IT being a ‘male industry’ of old towards it being a gender-unspecific business practice? What I mean is, just because the industry wants it, it doesn’t mean that we can have it straight away.

I am sure that both sexes would prefer not to undergo some form of affirmative action to balance genders, but rather start (or continue, depending on your own organization) to ensure there is equal opportunity. The ‘equal opportunity’ needs to start right at grass-roots – the junior positions – upon which stripes can be earned in order to reach C-level.
