So.. I've been interested in computer science for as long as I've gotten to know about it. Although I am seriously considering pursuing a career as a programmer or at least something in the field in the future, I'm a bit hesitant about it having heard of people treating females as "anomalies", given that the industry is dominated by men

It doesn't help that whenever people find out about my interest in programming, they look at me oddly and probably think of me as abnormal

Opinions? It'd be great if you're a fellow female who's taken CS or know of anyone who has!
