This study, and the news articles about it, say a lot more about attitudes towards software developers, than it does about software developers themselves.
And those attitudes are disturbing. They describe the industry as a terrible, sexist place, even though the actual study shows the exact opposite.
This isn't just insulting to us software engineers, which it definitely is. It's also making the problem worse. Why should women be interested to join a field that is described as horrible to them?
