> "what can I as a man in the tech industry do about this -- aside from not harassing people, which seems like a bare minimum." Those may be obvious basics, but starting at ones own (work) environment seems like a good idea: Deliberate about the own behaviour and thinking. Acknowledge the existence of sexism. Speak out against sexist behaviour (starting with things like sexist jokes), even if it costs you your manhood in front of your (sexist) male co-workers. Don't think that it's only the job of your female co-workers to point out sexism and harassment.[0] Keep in mind that you can always decide just to go back to business and try to ignore the sexism around you - your female co-workers can not so easy.[1] Oh, and when I look through the comments below the article at TC one more thing: Don't play the white knight or expect a medal for not being sexist - not being sexist should be a matter of course. [0] Like "My female coworkers never complaint, so I thougt it's okay to just ignore or even enjoy sexist jokes and other innuendos." [1] Disclaimer: Since I'm part of the rethorical "you" I have to admit that I caught my self just choosing the "easy way" more often than I wished.
