Stating that "...girls are no good at computers." is a pretty bold
statement when you consider its generally accepted the first computer
programmer was a woman (Ada Simpson) and it was a woman who thought of
and developed the first compiler (Can't remember her name - from
memory she was working for the US navy at the time). 

If all the women in computing at your uni managed to get all you guys
to do their work all I can say is good on them and to all of you who
did the work I'd say you have been sucked in by your antiquated
misconceptions of "poor helpless females". 

For your employers sake, I hope you have a more open mind when dealing
with programming issues than you do when dealing with social ones.
