Two things come to mind 1) I have seen quite a few things about the smaller numbers of men moving into traditionally female fields (nursing being a big example). That may fit with your point about cool/important jobs. 2) But regarding importance, I do think it matters a lot when the field is as socially prominent and well paid as tech jobs. 3) When you suggest that construction work might have a lot of sexism, you don't get a lot of pushback--it's just not a contested topic in the same way. Hence less discussion.
