For parents of children seems more fitting

  That is missing the point. Boys have a lot more role models that they can see themselves emulating, for instance Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerburg and so many others. Even more so if you look back in history (Einstein, Newton, Edison, etc) It takes a concentrated effort to expose little girls to role models that are the same gender as them. For whatever reason, girls like to emulate other females, and unfortunately there are a lot more Kim Kardashians and Ariana Grandes and Taylor Swifts than there are famous women software developers, scientists, tech entrepreneurs, and so on. (nothing against Taylor Swift. but aiming for a career in entertainment is a lot higher risk than studying technical pursuits as the male examples above did)
