Actually this is already happening. I wanted to motivate some friends of mine to maybe attend a DjangoGirls workshop and they objected to "Girls" and the girliness. But in general, women can bear "girliness" even if they don't like it, and it feels a lot less threatening than machoism and more attractive than, say trekki-ism.
