I read the article and did not find it a screed. It didn't really complain or anything. And it provided concrete action items that aren't "society hates you" but more "this is what this place expects; play to the expectations" which sounds smart.
Honestly, if anyone read the parent comment and concluded that this is one of those "Everyone hates me because I'm a woman" things (which do exist) then you've been misinformed.
Article is also useful to men, in my opinion, and not as "ally" or "social justice companion" or whatever but just for you to know how things are laid out in SV so that you too can play to the right expectations. First paragraph, for instance, is not a gender divide. Paragraph about Elizabeth Holmes is also a pointer that people pattern match a lot based on superficial characteristics and that it might help your success to be aware of and either mitigate or play to those characteristics. That's not gender-based either.
