Agile was a response to the increasing unrealistic expectations of management, and the widespread (and highly predictable) failure of the Waterfall model.
Somewhere along the line, women were pushed out of the mainstream of programming, and became a minority.
The men who started the Agile movement were a bit creepy, and those in charge now have acknowledged past sins, at least somewhat.
