You have a valid point, but I think the "especially at a place like Google" part is relevant in my comment. If you're a software engineer, woman, and at Google, you'll obviously still face challenges but getting hired is less likely to be one of them. That's a powerful wind in a person's back when standing up to a company - especially when others are willing to band together with you (because the others can easily find new jobs too). It's a compounding effect. I presume the dynamic is far different in law or investment banking even if you're highly skilled in the respective industry.
