I'm implying that "a gender difference which ostensibly disadvantages boys in education" will get more attention than "a gender difference which ostensibly disadvantages women in engineering".

On a forum which is organised around engineering.

And people will claim that the latter gets more attention, despite being shown evidence to the contrary. That's pretty average sexism.

(I also would note that this hasn't been up for long enough for people to be up-voting for the content, given that you can only access it as a 23-minute podcast.)

Except this has not been demonstrated at all. The BBC has both covered the topic and it has been discussed in highly upvoted posts on Hacker News.

As discussed above - despite widening the goalposts to include any article with 'women' and 'engineering' in the title, there is now only one such article which matches the popularity of this one - and based on the trajectory, that is unlikely to remain the case.
