Good question. No. This was not the intent of the article.

I think it is more a matter of bringing to the public, especially parents,
a positive view of how math and science have become more widely appreciated
in the school system by all students. I don't think it is a matter of
wasting money needlessly or pitting one gender against the other.
Nor do I think it was to enlighten business community strategists that the
horizon is wearing a skirt and that the Stock Market just might begin
referring to the Cow.
