In Norway today there are many schemes to recruit women to computer science disciplines. However, statistics indicate that the number of female students in computer technology disciplines is not substantially increasing. It may be that we have reached a limit for the percentage of women willing to enter computer disciplines as they exist today. What is needed to attract more women to enter technological fields is to enter in discussion on how these disciplines must be changed to open them up for women. This assumption is based on the different values women have from men and therefore the difficulty they have in feeling that they belong to this field. The keywords here are value conflicts and role conflicts.
