Not exactly. It's poorly written. It takes a lot of effort to read this and determine the author's point. She does a poor job of transferring from her bathroom story to the general issue of there being an absence of women in IT.

Then she starts throwing around statistics in paragraph 6 with absolutely no segue. She goes from whiny complainer about something trivial to I'm gonna fix the world's problems by talking to other women at this conference.

She's just not a good writer and her being a woman has nothing to do with that.

Oh, come off it. It's not in the least hard to understand what she's talking about, and it's objectively no worse than any other self-indulgent post that gets fawned over here. Come back when you have a critique grounded in content rather than form.
