No the implication is that that's not how you manage female engineers, it's just how you manage male engineers. He says later that female engineers will go get promoted into non-engineering roles soon enough anyway. The implication there is you don't need to worry about retaining them as engineers as they won't stay that way. BTW this isn't an endorsement of either his views or his approach.
