It's not about "dominance in most areas of life" but rather in a team of developers or communities of developers. Programming is still lucrative enough for most people that they chose this over the job they were originally trained for. That is one of the reasons (and not the only one) women want to be part of such groups, and there they are the minority. Also my perception is not that development teams are necessarily "dominated" by nerds. It's a cliche which is often wrong.
