Must be a bad sample size.  The proportions of Female Computer Person
to Female Pirate/Hacker are, in my experience, about the same as the
ratios for men.  In fact, the biggest pirate I know is a female friend
of mine.  (Just to ruin the statistics completely, she's in her
mid-forties. :-)

I think the more well-traveled female pirates & hackers don't usually
make much of a point of making their genders known.  Seeing the
"locals" discover a new female user on a pirate board is like watching
pirhanas in a feeding frenzy . . .
