I get positive news about my place in STEM every month, in the form of a paycheck which is more than four times my country's median individual income.

I'll take concrete, quantifiable rewards over nice words in an opinion piece any day.

Why should it be an either-or proposition? There's lots of evidence that young boys are falling behind to girls in early to college education. Maybe both genders need encouraging words? And if we're collectively going to dish out negative articles about men, maybe that should cut both ways too

But your salary is about your place individually, not about gigantic groups of people.
