Obviously male developers also get undermined by their coworkers and face career plateaus. That is reality, but it is not a binary action - simply because some men face similar problems does not imply that it is an equal problem for both genders.

- cloudjacker 10y agoYeah I'm going to stick to what I said earlier, the way you phrased it almost tries to put a shield around any rebuttal. He could have completely not mentioned the idea of gender being a crutch and it would have sounded like a gender neutral problem known to engineers.
- carrja99 10y agoYou do have a point. I do have a male friend who is also facing a similar situation. When I commented I was emotional since it was more recent and while she was demoted without regards to performance the dude promoted 3 white guys he brought in. ಠ_ಠ
