Edit: I haven't been typing well at all lately... don't know why. Apologies for lots of typos.
Honestly - in 10-15 years there will be a lot mre women working in games. Girls growing up in the 80's to early 2000's were still (generally) not supported in tech.
My own story?
My cousin created and owned a pretty well-known Canadian visual effects company. He hired his brother on (who is my age) at about 16 to learn coding and programming - he knew as much if not less than my sister and I at the time (we'd built websites and such, same as my cousin). My sister and I asked if we could try it, too. Didn't even expect jobs - just to try it and see. We were refused. We asked if we could intern there, basically, and were refused. THe only women who worked there were admin staff, and later on when they went into TV production, women were hired on in more capacity... but not in the beginning.
In high school we took computer science - except we were the only girls in the class. (This was lke 12-13 years ago, so I may be forgetting things) And our teacher refused to help us with our programming. For our final assignment we had to create a baseball field and have players run the bases - properly. I could get my players to second base, but then they all stuck there and wouldn't go further, no matter what I tried. I called the teacher over to have him look at it and try and help me out. He sat down, looked at my coding, said "wow, you really messed this up," got up, and walked away to help the guys finish their assignments.
Really. Not lying.
Also, in the late 90's in middle school, you get to choose between home economics, sewing class, woodship and electric/metalworking. My sister tried to take the latter two, but was told that no, she had to take home ec and sewing. By the principal. Who was a woman. In the 90's. In Canada.
... Things will change. Girls growing up not aren'tblocked as much - they will go into programming and coding and game design because ti's a more welcoming atmosphere... but until recentley... it hasn't beenn. And it will still be a long time before it doesn't feel like a boy's club.
