Shouldn't "Male and called Steve" be an option? As in: among all programmer populations the number of women is roughly equal to the number of men called Steve.
The best hacker I ever collaborated with was a woman. Best at analysis and project management, too. She forgot more than most people we dealt with ever knew. I think she got so tired of being called "Honey" that she folded up her tent and is now selling bagels or cars or something like that. What a shame. Patricia, if you're reading this, email me!
