Maybe you missed the part where she said she comes in a little before 9am and leaves by 5. :)

Similarly, consider the "routine and structure" that men supposedly require. It seems that stereotypically female professions (teaching, HR) have lots of structure and thrive on enforcing it, while stereotypically male professions (programming, sales) are characterized by an individualistic "get shit done" attitude. The article more or less agrees with this - it's women, not men, who work hard at squashing changes and making the system remain as rigid as a 1900's factory.
Overall, this is a fairly weakly reasoned article that should at least acknowledge where it differs from reality.
