Because men are the largest predominant engineering demographic? Increasing male representation homogenizes your workforce and reduces the number of perspectives you're bringing to the problem. A product design team staffed only by men is destined to collapse unless they're only trying to market to other men. A smart board of directors knows that you make twice as much money targeting every demographic instead of just the one you've hired to build the product.

Seems like an obvious trade.
