Discouraging girls and women from engineering and coding is irresponsible. Engineering will never go away and will only become more valuable. Women who can become sufficiently interested should be in engineering, much of which is coding now. That is where much of the real power to invent and actualize new business, services, and social change exists. It is also how you can take best advantage of systems and services all around you. Having a car or plane or tool is much more useful when you know how to drive / fly / use it. All power flows from knowing how to do things and having the energy and interest and risk tolerance to actually do it.
