The article is right. Objecting strongly to this is quite a bit of an over-reaction IMO. It wasn't even as if the show was preaching something about D&D and girls; it was Sheldon expressing initial resistance to including girls (because he's terribly resistant to any kind of change, the show has never implied that he's RIGHT every time), and then Penny cut him with a snarky joke (as usual).
And ultimately the episode was about how the guys and girls really got to enjoy playing D&D together, just like the Bakersfield episode showed how easy it was for girls to get into comic books, too. All's well that ends well.
