The problem is that if you encounter only one female programmer, it leads to this (http://xkcd.com/385/).
I'm no longer in tech, but my industry is largely male as well (although 15% female partners at my firm now). Sexism is real, but unfortunately it's real in every industry. I actually think that tech on the whole is less sexist than a lot of other fields.
