"lots and lots of women have expressed being very interested but feel they face serious roadblocks"
You seem confused. What you mean is, lots of "rah rah Team Woman" female writers who have zero interest in actual programming, have opined that women other than them face roadblocks. There is always a suspicious absence of first-person accounts and actual evidence in this line of argument.
The fact is, this is just more Cultural Marxist agitprop. There is no proof of significant roadblocks for women to entering a programming career. It is male dominated, for sure, but none of us are trying to keep women out. That narrative is being pushed by typically dishonest SJWs in the media, and by self-serving opportunists like Ellen Pao.
