Boys (and men) bet on long odds and so few get their payoff. Computer science is a terrible career for the "bottom" 95%. Unless you are absolutely in love with programming, there's little reward for being an anonymous code jockey inside a big corporation.
Just think Office Space.
You must agree with this to some extent or you wouldn't be on HN.
But boys/men are also far more willing to go to extremes in their pursuit of the long odds than women, as well.
