Sigh, in Summary: The reason why most women dont write nor like science fiction is because of Asimov's behavior.

What a joke, Even if the article has plenty of valid points (unsourced of course), the above insinuation makes the whole article untrustworthy.

I don't see that insinuation in the article. It says he was part of a bad tone and that his actions had a negative impact on an untold number of women, but that's a far cry from what you said above.
That is a very inaccurate summary. I think a more accurate summary would be "Asimov's behavior discouraged women from writing science fiction."
