It took me a while to parse everything, having no exposure to British radio and the like, but now I must understand how a lot of non-Americans feel on sites that lean towards USA-centric discussion.
Relating to the content, there's a strong analogue with a lot of the congressional testimony regarding women's reproductive health in the USA. The panel testifying in congress was made up entirely of men, which wasn't a fact lost by many involved in the discussion.
In some cases, I'd find it appropriate. You would want the foremost reproductive rights/health spokesman defending you in congress, but when there's a full panel in congress, not including a single female on the panel is a curious omission.
In the author's case, it seems incredibly odd to talk about women in tech, without actually including a woman in tech. And what seemed even more bizarre to me, was that it was a conscious decision on a program entitled "Woman's Hour"
