If we were having this conversation 30 years ago the answer would be as simple as female etiquette of leaning more towards the social sciences and the engineerings to more of a 'guy thing' at least in my native country, the engineering ladies were not considered to be very feminine.
Times change eventually it might even out. I think the type of job is not appealing to women. I frown on those who honestly believe women can't handle the hard math and algorithms. In my opinion sitting the day away coding is probably not an appeal...no yet anyway.
