I'm a woman in IT, no one pushed me to go into tech, I was just really interested in computers since a young age. I think the only reason women are so few in tech is merely because most of them are not interested in it.

to be honest programming were supposed to be a side job at that time and women didn't participate much in computers inner processing

Unfortunately they are less interested in tech and more in duck face selfies

I really hate to say it, but when I call tech support and get a woman on the phone, I cringe! The reason is because they are usually not very helpful. They look for any reason to simply create a ticket to escalate you to the next level. Over 50% if the time they don't help me. The men usually are able to solve the problem. There are of course women on tech who are highly competent, but sadly they are a minority. My mom was one of the few that was good in tech.
