Read the article carefully, and quote me the part where she agrees there is a problem.
The balance of evidence is that she is dismissive of the problem. She says she disagrees with Debra Mastaler, she uses scare-quotes around the word "bias", all but one of her "solutions" are aimed at female speakers individually, of the "do more to get noticed" variety. (The one standout is her accusation against Forbes Woman.)
Nowhere does she acknowledge that a) a number conferences have managed to get much, much closer to parity, without resorting to quotas, and b) a conference that still ends up with 95% males therefore very much has a problem.
This is known as "not doing your homework".
