I agree, the lack of male teachers is a far more serious problem than the lack of female coders. Too many boys nowadays grow up without fathers. If they don't have any male teachers either, they'll hit puberty before they meet anyone whose behaviour is worth emulating.

That disparity is pretty egregious. Modeling for children that men can also give care is actually pretty important.

How about if they just emulate the female role models in their life?
