And the reason there are less women programmers, is because less women want to be programmers. Just as less men want to become fashion designers.
There is nothing to "solve" here. Let people do what they want to do.

The comparison with fashion design is also BS. For one thing, there are lots of male designers (especially the famous ones) and then the number of fashion designers is a lot lower than the number of programmers.
And this is not as irrelevant a choice as whether to play with dolls or lego: Programming is a skill which allows for social upwards mobility like nothing else. Just assuming women (and minorities) don't want that, is a bit too easy.
