Just once, I would like to read in one of these articles about an actual non-anonymous woman who could plausibly demonstrate that a.) she had a strong desire to be a software developer, b.) she had developed sufficient skills in a marketable language to be employed as one, and c.) she had made a prolonged effort to find employment as one, and d.) she was unable land a job as a software developer.

Instead, it's always about something that a magazine ad said in 1969, or a teacher who told them that woman couldn't be programmers, or the boys in their school computer club ignored, them, etc. etc.

And the prescriptions, as usual, are that in order to get more woman into software development, that changes must be imposed on men, not woman.

This crap got old a long time ago.
