“Characterizing the test as insensitive to gender differences was enough to totally eliminate women’s underperformance in this experiment. Yet when the same test was characterized as sensitive to gender differences, women significantly underperformed in relation to equally qualified men.”

As well as girlswhocode there are also many non-gender-specific organizations aimed at helping young people into computer science.
Instead of asking whether gender-specific orgs for young people exist in the fashion or teaching world, you should also be asking whether non-gender-specific orgs exist in those fields as well.
The possible lack of "Young Male Teachers" organizations doesn't make much of a point if there's also a lack of "Young Teachers" organizations.
