I agree 100% there is a problem and all of us need to do more to address it, but hueving's comment is correct regarding this article (well, I wouldn't go so far as to call it click-bait, but it doesn't present sufficient data to back up the premise).

> A Harvard Business Review study from 2008 found that as many as 50%

How many is "as many as 50%"? That's an odd way to word it, maybe respondents were able to select multiple unranked reasons for leaving, maybe they lost half their survey results, maybe it wasn't multiple choice and it's difficult to determine what exactly falls into this category. What is the number for men? How does this number compare to 20 or 30 years ago? This article neither linked to the study nor provided appropriate details.

The plural of anecdote is not data. If I find "credible first-hand sources" of women who don't feel they've been treated differently that doesn't mean we don't have a problem.
