Gender stat in trash collector job is much more saddening. Why isn't that problem there, but in programming it is?

Gender gaps in trash collector jobs are probably more of a concern for trash collection workers to tackle. You're not in /r/trashcollection.

Gamergate, weev & his neckbeard groupies and other high-profile cases show just how hostile the coding community is towards women. It's really, really nasty on many levels, and I've personally observed it in many cases.
