Attitudes like yours are a big part of the problem. A problem can't be solved if it isn't recognized.

"there ought to be 50% women, so something is keeping them from doing it"

First of all, I never said there ought to be 50% women. Secondly, I am a female programmer, and there have been a number of roadblocks put in my way that I know have discouraged other women from going farther in the field. Those roadblocks start at an early age for girls and progress right up through college and in industry. I know because I have experienced them. Do not purport to understand my experience.

Read a little bit more about the ENIAC. Most of the men you mention were the people who built it or worked on the hardware. The programmers were women. You can't selectively read about something and prove a point that way.

You missed this rather large section of the Wikipedia article you quoted from:

"In 1997, the six women who did most of the programming of ENIAC were inducted into the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame.[22][23] As they were called by each other in 1946, they were Kay McNulty, Betty Jennings, Betty Snyder, Marlyn Wescoff, Fran Bilas and Ruth Lichterman.[24][25] Jennifer S. Light's essay, "When Computers Were Women", documents and describes the role of the women of ENIAC as well as outlines the historical omission or downplay of women's roles in computer science history.[26] The role of the ENIAC programmers was also treated in a 2010 documentary film by LeAnn Erickson.[27]"

It is no coincidence that Jennifer Light wrote about the historical omission or downplay of women's roles in computer science history.

You also missed the picture at the top of the article showing Betty Jean Jennings and Fran Bilas programming ENIAC.
