> males who come from narrow Stem (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) backgrounds
I see, so women from narrow Stem backgrounds would totally handle these issues differently, got it.

Was that intentional? Do you disagree that tech is overwhelmingly male?
Do you happen to be someone who believes in differences in the sexes? Just curious.
Read it again. They narrow it two ways in addition to being male:
"0. but the main reason is that they are, overwhelmingly, males 1. who come from narrow Stem (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) backgrounds 2. and are trapped in a particular mindset that the technology writer Evgeny Morozov called “solutionism”.
It's not that they are male, it males who come from Stem with a particular solution oriented mindset. I think in a different context you would be less offended. We are talking about driven, solution oriented people. It's a bias. Biases are fine, we all have them, this article is just talking about it.
I could ask again, would you agree that there are differences in the sexes? A different set of biases even?
