You're making the assumption that every single male has experienced the exact same thing and that every single female has experienced the exact same thing. While it may not make sense to create these types of programs in terms of number of people they could cater to (although these could be a great idea in low income neighbourhoods as something for both boys and girls), that doesn't make them ethically/morally wrong. I don't see what there is to be offended by here.
There's adequate support and encouragement for young men interested in science and technology, comments like the parent only serve to undermine and attack efforts to include women, you'd have to be intentionally daft (or have a massive persecution complex) not to see why it annoys people.
