I agree with his thesis to an extent, but further down in the article:

"The Newsweek piece features a company I personally invested in, Glassbreakers, a peer mentorship community for women."

...

"Men, we need to support companies like Glassbreakers that are providing solutions to the gender problem."

Is the author using this very real problem of the margination of women in tech as a sales pitch for a company he's invested in?

No matter how noble the underlying cause -- and it's certainly a noble one -- self-promotion seems to be part of the game with this one: the author is also the submitter of the article to HN.
