"Mr. Graham has since said the “these” referred to women who aren’t programmers. In our opinion, he didn’t say that to us. We’re happy for him to have clarified to the public."
The word in question, "these", refers to this sentence of the interview:
"We can’t make these women look at the world through hacker eyes and start Facebook because they haven’t been hacking for the past 10 years."
I think it's pretty obvious that he is referring to women that haven't been hacking for the past 10 years when he used "these". How else can you take that sentence to mean?
