In this case (not necessarily others) it is simple economics. There is much more growth opportunity among women than among men, because 1. There are lower levels of interest in CS in women, currently. If that can be changed, it's a massive potential population. 2. Girls have higher grades than men - they do better at school. So teaching CS in schools likely means girls will do well at it. Overall, if your goal is a maximal increase in the # of CS-trained people, focusing on women is rational to do. I would agree it's important to do this in a non-sexist way, and I think that's how this is being done, from what I've read.
