I'm a little bit put off that this article is essentially suggesting that not only should young men, who are being failed by the educational system, go to trade-school instead (instead of say, fixing the educational system), but that trade-school is also somehow feminist/progressive as well because it challenges gender norms or something. The majority of engineers are still men, and just because an increasing number, soon to be majority, of corporate drones are women doesn't mean we're "progressing as a society" if a relatively small class of professional women manages the working class men and women, while a supreme tech aristocracy made up almost exclusively of men lords over all.
