Codes of conduct originated in what most people would consider the most stereotypically male-dominated organizations. If you read the article, you'll see that they had to update it in the 1980s to make it gender neutral. Gradually, over the last three generations, codes of conduct have made it through to most sectors of the professional and business worlds. It's hardly an ultra-liberal feminist movement that has led to this.
