I don't really think that's true, I think it's more that some men and women tend to use a computer slightly differently. What I mean by that is that many men seem to be just as interested in the technical side of a computer (how the components interact etc.) as they are in just using it, while many women treats it more as tool to just get their work done. This in turn will often lead men to get more interested in programming than women, as programming frequently will require you to understand how a computer works on a technical level. Of course, I could be wrong, but that seems to be the trend among most of my friends.
