The article's author hints at a possible reason: "In the Parliament elected in 2010, 34% of Tory MPs were women vs. 57% of Labour MPs." Not politically correct. Anecdotally at least holds true. My wife, who has had a good education, seems to have a poor grasp of basic maths and science - she's just not interested. For example, the other day she said she didn't know that stars are in the sky during the day! For a stay-at-home mum I guess this doesn't matter but I'd expect more from our elected politicians.
