It's hard to draw serious conclusions from a news story that only interviewed the people making complaints without hearing any other sides.
I think though that this was one of the points of the article - that there still are places that could be perceived as hostile to women.
All of the articles seem to want to paint men who work in the field as sexist. I'm sure some places are like that, but sob stories from "well known engineers" without any hint of investigation are the opposite of persuasive to me. I'm sure an enterprising reporter could find many more such stories from men who felt like they were discriminated against for some reason other than their talent on the job.
