The question should be "Why do we pretend women want to be in programming, science and engineering?".
Statistically, women do not generally choose these fields even in the most egalitarian societies where people are given the most equality of opportunity. The push for equality of outcome goes against people's nature. It's also only ever a one sided debate, nobody pushes for more women in refuge collection and brick laying.

Because they'd get into the latter if they tried.
The whole point of affirmative action is to get someone in somewhere they aren't good enough to get in by themselves. In reality, they are just creating Token employees and degrading any profession hit by this.
