By "more women needed in technology", what it appears to actually be advocating is "more women needed in designing products for women, because men are condescending in their design of female-oriented products".
An interesting converse of this is that if you aren't building a female oriented consumer product, women probably aren't that helpful. If your product has primarily male consumers (e.g., that huge samsung phone, a database), you probably want to make sure your designers are all/mostly men.
I wish people would fully think through the logical implications of their arguments, since I somehow doubt the author of this piece would agree with that.
