Based on the search results and point scores, I'd wager that no article with "women" and "engineering" has ever been at the top of the front page, as this presently is.
You're moving the goalposts set in your original post, but a quick search[1] shows many articles on Hacker News about the gap between men and women in engineering. Many with more points than this post currently has.
It does seem like this post is growing more quickly than these did, but perhaps because this is a more surprising/novel development, whereas the gap of women in engineering roles is much more commonly known?
