Take the last 30 or so years. What we've proven is that if you bathe girls in self-esteem their entire lives, wrap them in advocacy you-go-girl programs, create a legal work environment that nearly criminalizes masculin behaviour around them, and try with all your might to drag them into certain professions, you will still end up with 80% of women employed in what are essentially specializations of of their tradtional roles - caregivers, educators, administrators, traders...
So you say that the "failure" of the programs that want to push girls to tech jobs is a proof that they just don't want to, even though many of them are still permanently confronted with the traditional role models at home?
On a somewhat related note I find it interesting that you list administrators as a traditional female role; with my limited historical knowledge I think that in the medieval age it wasn't one. So it seems that these roles do change over time. Maybe we're just in the medieval age of computing, and still have a long way to go?
