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?

There are 4 such articles with more points, at the time of your writing (and I expect there will soon be 0 or 1).

There are also 4 such articles with more points referencing boys and education (not including this one).
