Whether the writer is gender/politically correct or not, the information and meaning of the poster is well conveyed and its purpose served.
It does in that it continues to underscore the male dominance and mentality in science, math, and technology. HE'LL helps move that attitude right along.

Good poster - good message - but could have been great by keeping to the comparison of the slide rule and the power of the cell phone. That's the true message: the use (and misuse) of power, knowledge, and meaningful application.
