When mainframes cost millions, no one could afford a computer at home. If you were a programmer, you could only access the means of production through your employer. That gave the employer all the power. Then the late 70s/early 80s came and 8-bit computers became affordable to the middle class. Suddenly everyone had cheap access to the means of production. Males, especially young males, took to the computers and started becoming programmers. Women and girls had the same ability to do so but they weren't interested on anywhere the same level.
Software development went from being a niche career only at the largest companies to being a business anyone could start from their home.
Your goody gaslighting might work on plebbit where the average user is under 20 but there are lots of people here who lived through the microcomputer revolution and remember what happened. Your gaslighting won't work here.
