I didn't have access to a (personal) computer till a few years before starting college.

I'm currently using a 3 year old machine, granted it's still pretty fast for my needs, but if I saw a program that was only for girls, and there weren't any alternative for boys (at the age group this is targeted at) I would have been quite disappointed.

I don't bear any ill-will towards this program, but I feel that kids are mostly prejudice free, and this makes them see some form of gender discrimination.

What is next, you'll ask for funding for programs targeted at girls that are only hispanic or indian or black?

As a disclaimer, I have no opinion on them as I am not really informed about their activities.

How on earth did you draw this conclusion from a post in which I make exactly the opposite point? My point was that programs that single out groups, that sequester, are counterproductive. Read it again.

On re-reading your post, I now think you attached it to the wrong comment. That's the only rational explanation.
