weirdthorn is right, in a way: everything becomes a "traditionally male occupation" when there's money to be made. Cooking, fashion, programming, makeup, childcare: when women's burden becomes profitable, suddenly men are interested and they're edging out women with ease, often sadly helped by female fans fawning over the novelty. The internet enabled the scalable monetization of crafts; of course men would show up.
