"Not to mention why isn't there a push for more women working trade jobs like construction, plumbing, underwater wielding, etc. that in itself betrays the entire "gender equality" narrative."

This same comment is made every single time there's a discussion of gender equality in tech, and when examined betrays the entire "anti gender equality" narrative.

People are in fact pushing for women in every single one of the fields you mentioned:

Construction: http://www.nawic.org/nawic/NFSFScholarships.asp

Plumbing: https://www.aspe.org/WOA

Welding: https://app.aws.org/foundation/scholarships/air_products

The next point that's brought up is "well then why aren't people pushing for more men in female dominated industries." To which the answer is, they are, and have been for a long time: http://www.aamn.org/about-us/scholarships

It seems fishy to me when people are willing to speak out against diversity in tech without bothering to research any part of their argument.
