There are plenty of reasons for not going into tech besides sexism, yes. I've actually always aid exactly that: women are too smart to become programmers.

Maybe things have improved a little, but in the old days, programming meant sitting in the basement without natural light, staring at a screen most of the time. Yes, there are meetings, but meetings also suck.

These days, maybe it is not the basement anymore, instead you have open plan offices with hundreds or workers.

It's probably much more healthy to take a job with frequent human interactions. Surprise: these are the kind of jobs women tend to take.

Look at a standard office building. Check where the developers are sitting. Then check where the women from marketing and human resources are sitting. I wouldn't be surprised if even today, you'll find marketing in the well lit corner offices.

Funny thing is, Linus Torvalds would probably have been booted off the Linux developer community very early on by those standards.

I'd prefer to work with Linus Torvalds, and bear it out if he calls bullshit on me...

Code of conducts are not really more specific, though. They just say things like "don't make people unwelcome" or be decent, which in the end is not really more specific.

But if there is a CoC, you know they will have assigned some SJW as an overseer deciding what is OK and what is not. You know whose side they will be on. Which is not your side if you happen to be a heterosexual white male.

Code of Conducts are just markers for "this is SJW territory".

They are not harmless, innocent things.

By comparison, imagine conferences and open source communities would be required to have a little footer saying "We are committed to making America great again" on every web site. Surely a harmless message nobody could possibly disagree with?
