Interesting article, but submitting it with this as the title is misleading. The "death spiral" quote is from the text of the article, and is not used to describe the gender gap as a whole, but rather what happens when an individual startup fails to bring on any women in the first 15 to 20 employees (i.e. bringing one woman into an environment with 20 men is nigh impossible, and just gets harder as you hire more and more men because you can't hire any women).
