How does your context not engender outrage? It's nothing more than "the boys, they'll be fine because boys are better than girls at technology and we're totally cool if they go on to start companies. But the girls, well, they're inferior so why would we encourage them."
But I'm sure you'll get props at your mens rights movement meeting for pretending overt "girls just aren't good at tech" messaging isn't sexism.

You need to plant the seed then to foster any meaningful amount of interest and engagement in computers and computer science. Since this is currently only really succeeding with boys, you need to re-examine what's being done and make sure that the seed is also planted for girls. The boys will be fine because clearly what's being done is already working for them, but as a group girls are clearly not being drawn into computer science education and so that's where the problem lies.
