I know the reason, because I have seen it in action. Simply put, few women work in technical IT, but end up in management, business analysis, etc. And management has a faster and higher career path to elevated positions, while techs will top out at "senior engineer/developer" after about 5 years, and will be still stuck there after 20 unless they basically give up their passion and become a manager. Of course, there are far fewer management positions than tech roles, as the are far fewer women working in tech generally.
