Women pioneered computer programming. Then men took their industry over.

"The male-washing of the programming industry actually mirrors
filmmaking in this way. In the early days of movies—in the 1910s and
20s—screenwriting and editing were women’s work. Then, the Hollywood
studio system made those jobs far more lucrative, and they became men’s
work."

Once they became prestige jobs, men started pushing women out.
