Ok, but how does that (http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/mt/assets/science/diversit...) panel look to a 20 year old female student trying to decide between a career in programming (which she enjoys) and teaching (which she also enjoys).

I'm not saying that this is the right solution, nor can I propose a better one. It's a very difficult problem, and I don't think we can dismiss it by saying that gender doesn't matter.
