To be frank, I don't understand your comment. Even if there is an "obvious difference between men and women," it is clear that there are still social pressures [1] and other problems making it harder for women to get jobs in technical fields — and these are what the article is about, not whether or not women and men have "different mentalities." Even if women are fundamentally less inclined to work in technology, issues of harassment and women being ignored simply for being women are still a problem. You say "I bring these things up because there are inherent differences between men and women that people seem to forget," but the fact is, differences between men and women (true or not) are emphasized all the time. This holds true for toy advertising [2], discussion of career options [3], or political speech [4]. The idea that men and women are different is hardly forgotten — it's ubiquitous. I think the question of whether differences really exist is too much to address in one comment and probably off-topic [5]. But I suggest that you consider the possibility that "there will always be a difference in our mentalities because of our gender" is, in fact, part of the problem.
