The NSF study has an appendix showing the degrees which are lumped under "Computer Science". One such degree is indeed "Data Processing, Data Processing Technician". Unfortunately the breakdown of exact degrees isn't available, but given this information it's entirely possible that a shift away from such fields plays a factor in the number of women with "Computer Science" degrees. It's not at all an unreasonable theory to consider it may be a factor. http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/nsf13327/content.cfm?pub_id=4266&id=4 http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/nsf13327/content.cfm?pub_id=42...
