I don't know how much I'd attribute this to choosing programming later in life. At 5 I was building Lego technics and my sisters were playing with dolls, though they got as much Lego as I did and our parents very much encouraged us all to fiddle with electronics and tech.
My SO codes but hated anything girly from a very young age and was constantly told she wasn't acting ladylike.
Those experiences are from prior to encountering the effects from the rest of society. My SO was diagnosed with ASD as an adult but has had elevated testosterone levels found at a young age. So just personally it feels weird attributing those things to upbringing.
And Sweden where I am really shouldn't have as few women in tech as we do either if it was based on gender roles in upbringing.
