I agree, generally, but one of the advantages of starting women in software development earlier is that hacking culture changes. If women were a constant presence in software development from 12 years old onwards, it wouldn't be so odd to find women in your CS classes, or making up a plurality of your hackathons or conferences. It would be something that people had grown up with, on both sides.
