It's worth pointing out that even by most "legitimately" gendered issues relating to careerism, tech caters pretty well to women's needs. A lot of women do, in fact, want to pursue motherhood, and tech is one of the easiest careers to stay involved in during the time-and-obligation demands thereof, rivaled only by a few other careers like writing. There are many careers (ones that require you to travel, ones that require lots of in-person onsite availability) that genuinely are really tough for young mothers, and it forces a classic feminism catch-22 on them; namely, an unpleasant need to make a choice between seeking fulfillment via having a career, versus seeking personal fulfillment via motherhood. It's just really unfair that one has to choose and can't just do both. As it turns out, there are a lot of careers where you can have both with no problem; but there are others that are a bad fit. (For an example of a career that fits this really poorly, take truck driving.)
