I don't doubt that the percentage of women who choose technology as a career is less than the number who would make competent technologists. However, I would love to see some actual data on the effectiveness of the proposed methods of addressing this. You could measure the results by increasing the number of females at a college who choose CS as a major, or take a career in software, or a number of other ways.
The nascent computational pedagogy field (itself a fringe, underappreciated movement in CS academia) is doing some good work on this.
Without numbers, we're all just throwing opinions out there.
