Does it have to be though? I'm sure reading/writing were thought the same for women/blacks/etc.. at some point in history.

I suspect I'm ideologically closer to you than to some of the more libertarian commenters on this thread, but that comment is both a false comparison, intensely reductive, and, I think, needlessly divisive.

No-one is arguing that certain groups have greater aptitude or learning ability for programming; they're arguing that certain individuals might differ.
