Sure, and it's an equally massive leap to say "OMG! Little girls want to be reality TV stars instead of <insert "good" profession here>!" and assume that this is some sort of problem driven by sexism.
The folks who deal in this controversy have a vested interest to keep it controversial. Don't hold your breath for rational explanation.
The original article referenced is promoting a book by Ms. Bloom called "Think: Straight Talk for Women to Stay Smart in a Dumbed-Down World".
I have not read this book, but the publishers description of the book is on Amazon.com's listing.
Here's a snippet: "In this provocative, entertaining, educational, and thoroughly researched book, Lisa outlines the ways that we as a society, and particularly women, have fallen off the intellectual path, and, very specifically, points to how damaging this has been to us on many levels. Lisa shows us the fallout--but she also provides the solutions for "Reclaiming the Brain God Gave You" and seizing back control of your mind and your life. Think is delivered in a no-nonsense manner that will make you laugh, make you question yourself, make you squirm, but, most important, make you start thinking again."
Ms. Bloom believes that women live in a world of "stark paradox" and wrote a provocative book to talk about it and encourages readers to think. That implicitly says to the world "This book is controversial", as controversy and paradox are generally what make us think.
That's not to say that controversy is bad. But you're not going to reach a rational conclusion until a consensus driven by generally-accepted fact is reached.
