There are a certain percentage of the population who are just assholes. Let's assume for a moment that both men and women are assholes in equal proportion, that say 10% of the population of either gender are assholes. For a 50 person company, 80% male: 40 men total 4 male assholes 10 women 1 woman asshole Take that ratio up to 90% male as many tech conferences are: 45 men of those 45 men, 5 will be assholes, rounding up 5 women 1 woman asshole In that scenario there actually the same number of male assholes as ALL of the women. This is why changing the ratio of male and female matters.
