Women have tendency to value job security higher.

Dealing with mainframes is probably kinda secure job. Dealing with personal computers seems very sensitive to economic fluctuations.

Maybe women just kept doing what they have always done. And men conquered this new front where employment is less certain. Just like with gold rushes in the past. So the news is no news.
