Story: Berners-Lee challenges 'stupid' male geek culture
Narrow View
If the women you have worked with have been, no good, as you put it then maybe your problem has been poor recruitment practices rather than this being a general rule with women. I have worked with several women over the years and found them all to be very talented in their respective fields. If you work with good recruitment agencies and are more open minded when interviewing you many just be surprised that there are some very talented women within the IT industry.
Of course it could be that your views are clouded by poor social values, in which case, your never going to appreciate womens input no matter what industry sector you work in or for that matter how good they are.
