Q: Why aren't there many females answering or asking questions

NeelMost of the time, I only see males on Stack Overflow or any question and answer site for coding, so I am wondering why I don't see girls or women answering questions of coding or anything related mathematics, or related topics. Is it because males have more interest in coding than girls?

 
I have seen it and I noticed so I asked @Oded and tell me honestly don't you feel the same?
 
@Neel read the linked dupe. That's the proper way to discuss this issue.
 
well most of the people have their profile picture and I guess we can differentiate it from there @Oded
I am talking about coding for example in SO and I do have my image there and most of the people have it there @JonW
common dude a profile picture can atleast tell your gender @Oded
 
@Neel so this user is male or female?
 
ok I accept @ShadowWizard we can not judge by profile pictures ok I agree with that so you mean to say females are also answering I mean the ratio is same? common don't take as offence anybody here I am just curious to know it

@Neel we can't know. You can say "looks like there are more male than female programmers, why is that and what can we do?" but you can't make a statement "I am sure there are 90% males and 10% females" etc.
 
ok I removed that @ShadowWizard
and by the way the link you provided is male @ShadowWizard :P
 
@Neel good! And this one? :D
 
again male the proof is here rene.bloggingabout.net/2010/12/07/the-big-5 @ShadowWizard :PPP
 
OK @Neel are you ready for the real challenge? stackoverflow.com/users/274402/grace-note male or female? ;)
 
that seems tough :o let me try @ShadowWizard :P
I guess female but many people are confused proof is here blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/08/… @ShadowWizard :PP
come here
 
12:08 PM

12:33 PM
they suggested to continue in chat so did :) btw are you male or female :P
@ShadowWizard
 
@Neel only if we still need things to resolve, so we won't flood the question with comments. As for my gender, well, I have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome. ;)
 
omg @ShadowWizard for that I would have to google bcoz I am very bad in biology I only only x stands for my ex and y stands for why :P ..but from your account you seem a female :P
no no you are a male :)))
 
@Neel oh, what in my account makes me female? ;)
 
I just googled @ShadowWizard :P
no from your parenting account I found you are a very caring parent and among male and female female gives more time to children so I just guessed sorry don't mind me :)
and you are a .Net guy :)
 
lol
right on spot!
Luckily for me you didn't notice my question on Travelling. That could be embarrassing, though it still doesn't expose my gender. :D

Two kids, daughter who is featured in my avatar on all sites except MSE and a son who is right here, though somewhat cropped
 
is there any site for travelling as well in Stack exchange??
oh I found it travel.stackexchange.com/questions/5801/… :P don't feel embarrase it happens with we all @ShadowWizard
