Ashe Dryden merely lists some personal choices of women (cleaning their house more, taking care of children), and some unrelated statistics about women in general.

As you noted: Dryden is quoted in this article.

The Ashe Dryden article is about how using open source contributions as a sole barometer of 'merit' leaves an awful lot of talented people out in the cold.

Well, I now notice Dryden was quoted in the article, though she does not seem to be involved in the events recounted in the story.

This is bad enough on its own, but especially disturbing in light of the blog post linked by calibraxis, elsewhere in this thread, in which Dryden advocates 1950s-style industry blacklisting.

If that is the standard of evidence you require, before you'll entertain the suggestion that a blacklist is something Dryden advocates, then I see no point in our even attempting to have anything resembling a conversation.

Ashe Dryden helpfully pointed out to me, when I had the opportunity to ask her opinion, that women on average earn 25% less than men, so really we had just made the program cost the same for women as it did for men.

I concede that the words "We should maintain and enforce a blacklist" appear nowhere in Dryden's post.

The pictures (and one slide) show an Android phone being used on a "Dryden drone", looks like it might have been a prototyping platform.

I mean Jesus, earlier I saw Ashe Dryden complain that Gittip "doesn't care about her safety" and that she's now in a precarious position because she's "locked in" to it.

In all fairness, I must note that Dryden herself didn't introduce the word "blacklist"; one of her followers did that, in the course of picking up the ball and running with it.

Dryden never said that ending a sentence with a preposition was wrong, only that it was ugly.

Dryden has certainly done some work for conference inclusiveness, but as a whole she is a highly polarizing figure.

Observe the reaction to @LeaVerou's timeline in the last couple of hours to see what I mean, in particular Ashe Dryden's condemnation of her (reasonable) position.
