i actually don't agree with this, becuase i think a lot of apps have some sort of reputation, like youtube has views and likes, its the same with the followers number!! they need to be thier to make twitter, instagram and picplz succesfull!
thats common with most movies they have add a certain ficiton to it for entertainment puposes like i.e the social network im sure the real truth about mark zucherberg wasn't conveyed properly!!
i dnt think its really the problem with tech companies, its women that might not be interested in technology!! but thats just my thought!! but i do agree that they should encourage women to be in tech!! :))
