You seem to take that as a law of nature... as though it's natural for there to be a truly massive gender bias in computing, a gender bias that was far less 20 years ago and has gotten egregiously worse since roughly 2000.
The real question should be: why the hell aren't women enrolling into and graduating from CS programs?
The answer is probably enormous and systemic, but the current situation should not be seen as acceptable, IMO.
Incidentally, the same questions could (and should) be asked of, say, men in nursing. And, again, the answers are certainly enormous and systemic, starting from childhood socialization, running through peer group issues, and on and on.
