Just out of curiosity, are there any recent stats out there about the number of women vs. the number of men in our field? My sense is that in the formal HCI world, which has been historically rooted in computer science faculties, men tend to dominate. Outside the academic HCI world and in the user experience industry, however, I have felt a greater sense of balance between the sexes. That might have to do with the fact that my firm is composed of 7 female IAs and 1 male IA, however. ;) Would love to hear some stats if people have them, as I get asked this question all the time and Dave's comment makes me worry I'm giving the wrong answer!
