Does it really make sense to you that only 1% of free software hackers be female? Do you honestly believe that this is an apt reflection of our biological differences?
Other technical fields such as mathematics and physics have a *much* higher proportion of females, and those are fields were females are known to be actively discouraged by society.
If you believe that 1% is not indicative of the biological differences between men and women, then we're missing out on good potential contributors and it is worth trying to correct the problem.
