Because sitting in one spot for 10+ hours a day reading page after page after page of naked computational logic does not appeal to those with feminine sensibilities.

I don't know about that - while I was a huge tomboy growing up and wouldn't consider myself to have "feminine sensibilities", most of the female programmers and computer techs I know are very girly.
