If it's not a competition (a comparison so to say) why distinguish between men and women at all? The problems she identifies are not at all gender specific, not in my generation at least. That said, to be fair, I don't think she made the article particularly slanted or gender focussed. I think she was just talking about her experience, and identifying her gender is probably a by-product of our time, a time when women are maturing into, and pushing for, equality.
