About that "myth". I had 60/40 ratio of girls to boys in my high school class. They all had access to Comp Science classes and computers and everything else that I had, but none of the girls wanted to become engineers, me and four other guys did. So please, do not say that girls are interested in engineering but not pursuing that interest just because they do not have access. Thanks to mass culture that sees guys interested in technology as dorks and "not cool" I have a lot of doubts in the claim that lack of access is the culprit of the perceived discrepancy. At least in the US and Europe boys and girls have similar access to technology, and no one is taking computers away from girls.
