Paul, there is no "problem" and there is nothing for you to "think about". What you'd have to do to get 13 year old girls interested in computers is give them a Y chromosome, but why bother? There are enough dudes to do the job.
So, in fact, this guy is a faithful but somewhat naive party member who is earnestly trying to figure out ways to solve the spurious and unsolvable "problem" of getting sluts to become hackers. But any perceived deviation from the party line, no matter how small, is forbidden. That's how it is and how it must be under the ascendant reign of a totalizing ideology.
Based on his writing and background, I have a feeling that he is not a faithful party member. But consider his position. It's easy for you and me to say whatever we want behind anonymous handles on the internet. Maybe a few of us even express these views on Facebook with our real identities (albeit watered down versions). PG has millions and a reputation to risk by publicly espousing verboten views. Look at the trouble he's facing for commenting on founders with accents and female hackers.
Before you judge a man too harshly, put yourself in his shoes.
