That the field became male-dominated once computing became simultaneously expensive and highly profitable should be entirely unsurprising.
Nursing (which is a huge industry of course) is the notable exception within medicine. But it’s still subordinate.
Breaking down just doctors, the profession is 2/3 male, and within it women lean towards specialties like gynecology, pediatrics and palliative medicine while the most prestigious ones like various kinds of surgery and radiology are male dominated.
At what point in time do you think computing became more expensive than it was before? If anything, the cost of computing has been strictly monotonically decreasing since the very first programmable computer.
That doesn't make any sense. Just 10 minutes before you've claimed that computing became male-dominated because it was expensive:

and now you claim that it was female-dominated at first because it was expensive?
