Am I missing something?
Are we doing fat-jokes in the lounge now?
Seriously, what am I missing, I can't believe anyone would sink so low as to take the piss out of someone just for being fat!

Jesus, if you saw me in real life, you'd know this isn't about being fat .
Punching above weight is a boxing term IIRC - implying a boxer is so good they are capable of fighting someone in a heavier weight category.

Outreach programs for kids and in particular girls to get them into programming.
Code Project should be visible in schools.
Code project should offer mentoring for young kids who wants to know about programming.
Code Project could start contacting schools to discuss programs and activities that can be included in extracurricular activities.
I'd rather be phishing!

I like that Idea but I think it would also be a difficulty pulling off sucessfully.

Mmmm, the problem I can see is that by telling kids "Computer Programming is the Future" you are going to create a government style foul up. A friend of mine who was in the IT/networking side of things, took a 'gap' year(s) came back as a teacher, now is fed up with it. He like a lot us was one the Techie/Geeky kids who though 'I wonder how...', he has found that trying to inspire kids to program is hard. Programming you have to make lots of errors and learn by them. I think its built in rather than taught... Mind you it might be possible...

Why stop there? We can make CP available in strip clubs too. That way, instead of boozing up and having fun at a place like that, people can go and learn how to program a computer while having strippers and loud music all around them. You haven't lived until a thong is the reason you forgot that semicolon!

If chicks wanted to be in IT, they would. Thus balance is already restored. And I've met more than one geek type chick, they're boring. I'd much rather see more chicks getting their wild on so they stay interesting.

Come again ? They are not boring you are boring to them. If you could find a interesting mutual topic you will find that they are not so boring after all.

Oh trust me I've tried. I have a geek side, but most of them have way too much of a shell.

So they are boring, because they know more than you ?

Feeling threatened aren't we? And no, they don't know much outside of video games or some computer crap actually. But that's not even it. They're boring because, like this message you're posting, they'd rather attack anyone real and are closed off, than to do something like grow up and come out of their shell.

Says the man who, a few messages ago, referred to women as "chicks", denied that there was any reason for them not to enter IT, and then suggested that they should "get their wild on" in order to "stay interesting". 
I think you've single-handedly answered the question of why there are so few women in IT.

I think you've just answered your own question.
Bragging about how much "experience" you've had with women isn't something that makes people think, "wow, he's really mature!". You should have out-grown that kind of macho BS when you left high-school.
