It is very hard to find the right place to straddle the line of interpreting and explaining the sources for your reader, but not sounding condescending. The author, in this case, likely chose a tone she thought would resonate with male engineering managers best, and it's really hard to fault her for that. The author is an engineer after all, not a professional writer, and the article is not less trustworthy because of that. While I would normally be fast to offer advice to the author on how to improve the tone and resonate with the reader more, in this case, this article is not something which needs to be written in an engaging, interesting way - it is just a collection of data, presented in an accessible manner. It encourages the reader to change their opinion in a Bayesian manner and use the sources, not just blindly follow the author.
