I believe the decrease in female CS majors was due to microcomputers. What's not true is that this was because they were marketed to boys.
The history of microcomputer marketing is effectively a controlled experiment proving this.

In the beginning it was completely neutral ("16K RAM!"), yet the people it attracted were very disproportionately male.

You're very naive if you believe that. How the ads looked, where they were, the nature of "clubs" all tipped things towards males.
