Women represent only 20% of computer science and 22% of undergraduate engineering degrees. And, in 2018, women accounted for only 38% of applications to full-time MBA programs.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO DO IT. It's that simple. According to data from UCLA, the percentage of incoming female students interested in majoring in computer science peaked in the early 1980s. There is very little interest in women getting involved in IT related fields, and when they do (at least in my experience with 10 years of teaching the stuff) as soon as it gets hard a good chunk of them just nope out of there for an easier major.
2001, my highschool teachers desperately trying to get boys to take Home Economics (cooking and sewing) and girls to take Design Techology (shop class). Despite their attempts to propagandize us, both classes end up skewed with 90% stereotypical gender ratios.
The girls lining up for the milling machine: Tomboys, autists, lesbians.
The boys lining up for the sewing machine: Flaming homosexuals and autists stroking their cocks at the thought of being in a room full of girls.
I never said it was useless at all. In fact, it's virtually certain that more of the kids who took home economics got more use out that education than the kids who took shop, regardless of whether they're male or female.
But I was not making a value judgement on the content of each class. I was making a simple observation about the sort of activities that naturally appeal to the overwhelming majority of males, and the overwhelming majority of females.

"Women belong in the laboratory! Not the kitchen!"
"But I like the kitchen."
"I SAID GET BACK IN THE LABORATORY AND MAKE ME A FUCKING EXPERIMENT YOU DUMB BITCH"
“Women like social jobs”
“Omg I’m going to tweet this to my 20k followers and get you canceled misogynist!”
"God damnit, mom"
This is one of my wife's favorite videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCftJ8Hf0kI
I literally stopped the video and said, "Wait! That's true! YOU BITCH!"
Boy, the BBC really fucked up on the satire on this.

HEY!
I took Home Economics because I couldn't cook for shit. I learned how to actually use an oven and make pasta, which has served me well.
