Liukas believes that the profession only became dominated by men after people realised that it was well paid and highly creative.
Might be projection on her part - there are professions she could see herself wanting to do, because they paid well - Assumes all the men are the same.
My parents wanted me to be in Finance, Accounting or in Medicine because those jobs paid well and had prestige. I went in Software Engineering because I tinkered with programming since I was 13.
I'm sure she'd be similarly offended by reading same sexist remarks from the article, switching genders:
"Why men make gifted coders"
