I don't believe this narrative of "it's because home computers were marketed only to boys". At least, I would like to see some more evidence for it. It seems more likely to me that the story starts sooner, there must have been a reason why computers were marketed to boys. Maybe the first home computers were considered part of the electronics hacking scene (radio shack and what not), and that was already more popular with boys? How many women went to the Homebrew computer club were people were trying to create their own computer before you could just buy them off the shelves (people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak)? Maybe girls saw home computers and didn't like them. I don't know - but neither do the tellers of the "marketing is at fault" narrative.
