Wow, your post was dead (I vouched it), but you are exactly right. Everyone in this thread is missing the point. Shocking to see the one scientifically valid interpretation of the article downvoted below threadshold. I thought we were pro-science on HN?
If women were just "choosing" to approach their career in a different way, or had just been brainwashed, then they would react the same regardless of who is around.
