Seconded. Thanks a lot for raising this point of view.

You are right in disagreeing in an oppressor/victim setup. But I don't
think we white males are oppressors in this context. It's a fact that
most CS people is male (and maybe white, but maybe not) and this must
be fixed, because it's the result of some social prejudice.  But I
don't think reverse-prejudice is usually the proper way to solve it.

Sure my female students used to be the best in the class, but most
likely just because only the best survived the social selection.
Should I favor female over male within the good students? I don't
think so.

/alessandro, in the darker half of white males, which turns "funny" at times
