Martin Davies works in a strange world – or I do (Letters, 29 October). I have been an IT professional for more than 25 years. From my very first class, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of women students.

Subsequently, I have found the female sex to be well represented in the IT industry. On more than one occasion I have worked for a female IT manager.

So to say that women “just do not want to do IT” is fatuous, to say the least.
