Males tend to be equation minded and code oriented. What we need in IT is to make it more perception-centric and consensus-centric and not worry that the code is bug-free just to make females feel welcome! So lets force female thought patterns on male creative staff. That sounds like a recipe for success: NOT! Let's create a perception that the software is good and call it a (bad) day. So if the application doesn't work, but the consensus is that everyone feels good about it, mark it down as a successful effort.
