You’re basing your whole attack on the author on having your feelings hurt because you, too, are a man in marketing, just like the people responsible for the awful sexism displayed.
Some women are sexist towards women, yes. But the idea that this kind of marketing “stunt” was <em>more</em> because of the women at the company in question than the men there, is absurd. Women don't tend to hold executive power anywhere near as much as men do, in almost every industry—marketing being among them. Furthermore, even the women that <em>are</em> sexist against other women tend not to come up with a marketing campaign featuring naked women to sell hard drives. Your belief that men had less to do with this campaign than women did is… I’m at a loss for the right word for it. “Naïeve” doesn’t cover it. Silly, too, because if that had been the case, their sexist piece-of-shit CEO would’ve used that as an argument trying to justify their disgraceful stunt. But he didn’t.
Lastly, as others have already pointed out, you’re being extremely hypocritical by blaming a woman for not blaming other women first, when the <strong>VAST</strong> majority of sexism in tech is committed by men. Men like yourself. So you should start by pointing the finger there, thus following your own advice.
Right now, you’re nothing but another man blaming a woman for the sexism being committed in tech, sexism in which women are the victim 9 times out of 10 (if not worse), and in which most of the perpetrators are men.
