It's a boys club

Why is that? Why is the web design industry dominated by men? There are certainly a lot more women getting involved then there were years ago but as far as equality is concerned, I feel the web industry is far behind the curve.
Even today, we’ve found ways to objectify women and their role in the web with such characters as iJustine and Mostly Lisa (Go Canada), who in there own right have much more to do with the web then just being pretty faces but yet you see their faces guesting hosting on every show, not to talk about what they can really do but just to talk about how many followers they have on this social network or hot site... and why do they have so many followers? Because they are pretty faces in a sea of dorks and yet they are willing to accept our friend requests.
There are smart women out there doing smart things. Why aren’t they celebrated more?
