I presume (hope!) Deepika is a "real woman", and not a "real girl". I'm not trying to scold, but it's worth pointing out that most men wouldn't want to be described as "boys", and the culture that makes it so easy to inadvertently describe ourselves as men and girls rather than men and women has something to do with why we have so few women in computing.

We use the same terminology in many fields with lots of women, so I doubt your hypothesis is true.
If you image search "im a real boy" you'll also understand the reference I was making.
