It depends on what we understand by "accept". You see, I don't know what's the author's agenda. If she wants to "fight it", change the society so that one day being an average-skilled woman programmer will make you a totally average person amongst programmers. Then that article will probably help to forward that cause and I should not criticize it.

But if she truly believes that being a woman that truly likes programming (aka does not want to be just another average person gluing code for a big company or equivalent) there is so magical force that makes it harder for a woman then she is basically wrong. And that is a feeling I got from reading it, so my "accept" meant recognizing that it's not any harder to be an exceptional programmer for a women and move on.

As for the down-vote I wanted to do it after reading that trick sentence, but somehow I cannot find that option :-). I never vote here anyways.
