If you're reading it as he's saying there's only so much attention available, I'd agree.
I think he's wrong to emphasize feminism when talking about people mistaking a surface normality for change. The point could stand without bringing that in.
As you point out, it creates a hint of blame as you point out. Plus it's not true even there. Wall Street was still an obvious boys club doing the bare minimum to not get sued. I suspect there was more done against drug and alcohol use during business hours than anything else. Watching the boys at any bar near a major business district, it was clear the improvement was like a drunk who thinks responsibility is not driving afterwards.
