There's absolutely nothing to back up the claim that programmer wages rose when more men took on that job.
The basic reasoning in the article is to produce the appearance of a conspiracy so structural and so vast that it doesn't matter if each individual claim is provably false or contextually misleading, the broader narrative remains somehow irrefutable.

right to the point!
>> Computer programming, for instance, used to be a relatively menial role done by women. But when male programmers began to outnumber female ones, the job began paying more and gained prestige.
so, men made the computer programming prestigious and better paid? How about construction, why is it not prestigious (or not as prestigious as programming) despite the fact it is clearly dominated by men? how about plumbing? taxi?
