The article argues about roles in academia and how women drop out during/after PhD programs.
If your goal is to maximize the number of hours worked in the medical profession, you should optimize for that _much_ earlier in the pipeline because all those post-PhD women who then move into part time work already took away precious college resources from those hard working men who are more likely to work past retirement age (if they don't die of a heart attack long before reaching that still-working-at-80 panacea).
