I like the way they have written the story without sounding overly accusing. I'm a hardcore coder and security guy, but beyond technical skills I don't really fit into typical IT environments and often plan to leave the business altogether and do something completely different.
There are a lot of men too who find the mono-culture in the industry hard and feel like outsiders. I'm not sure that's helpful to women feeling isolated; but we can hope the industry slowly recognises the problem and learns to attract a more diverse group of people with a more diverse set of skills that will enable a more diverse set of solutions.
Take the graphics in the presentation: in my last project, we struggled (and failed) to find anybody with both technical and artistic skills. People with artistic skills rarely show up for technical jobs it seems, and that's a pity.
