As of this past May, only twelve of the Fortune 500 companies were run by women.
So no.

No, hugh3 is saying that the reason why most women won't be CEO and why most men won't be CEO is the same -- there are a lot of men and women and not a lot of CEOs. Simply by the pigeonhole principle most men and women won't become CEOs.
What the author meant to say (and screwed up) is "Why Most CEOs Won't Be Women."

I think you missed it.
The reason most women will never become a CEO is because there are far less than 3.5 billion CEO positions available for filling. This is also the reason most men will never become a CEO.

hugh3 is pointing out that the title is worded incorrectly. Since CEOs represent a very small portion of people, most people will never become CEOs regardless of their gender.

Reread the headline. Its symbolic meaning is clear enough—"why most CEOs will never be women"—but its literal meaning is stupid. Of course most women will never become CEO; most men won't, either.

And this is where I closed the page and moved on.

You're a misogynist. From your link, you oppose female contraception, no fault divorce, and female economic freedom. To pick but one point from your pseudo history: "There was never any organized male opposition to women entering the workforce". Did you miss the history of the women's lib movement? Marriage bars? Was the equal pay act of 1963 passed unanimously? Did women have equal access to education? etc etc etc
Anyway, you won't change your mind and there's really no point in debating stupid people, but that doesn't mean I have to be polite to jackasses.
