Reflections of a CS girl: Conservation of Hair

Being a theory person, I have a theory as to why there are so many boys with long hair in computer science. My theory is the Conservation of Hair between academic disciplines. Typically, it is the female gender that has long hair, but since there are so few female specimens in computer science, the males have to sport longer hair in order to achieve Conservation of Hair. Maybe this is why there are so many short-haired women in Brown's Gender Studies program...

    Is it only boys? Geeky girls seem more likely to have really long hair, too

    True that. They must be trying to have the hair of two girls in order to make up for their small numbers in CS.
