Woman participation in Computer Tech has become worse, not better, over past 30 years.

At what point were woman discouraged from Computers? Perhaps when coding became popular or profitable?

Personal note: My computer programming class in HS in late 70s was pretty even male & female, but university classes were very dominated by men, with as I remember, only 1 woman aiming for a software programming degree.  Perhaps the negative encouragement started not when, but where. That said, my recent Graduate CS classes at local University had more woman in SWE than men.  I sincerely hope things are getting better.
