I have met women in tech who have been privacy conscious and paranoid about state control. Or even a healthy stream of non-tech women worried that it will be used to attack their sex and to discriminate. I don't think the author is correct in his belief that there are not a considerable amount of women worried about privacy. And to make such a board claim, and in light of my experience, would indicate either hubris or sexism.

If anything, he frames that he is concerned about his daughter as a father. The viewpoint of patriarchy.

As a counter point, the larger point that the author was making resonated with what I have seen.

As in - women in tech who value privacy and rule of law, and are also advocates for child safety and (better versions of) age verification.

In addition, for obvious reasons, you see more (more being the key word) women showing up for issues like NCII.
