> There's a hell of a lot more challenges that women face in tech than outright harassment. Unintentional sidelining, the bar for proof being much higher, general unwarranted skepticism in their abilities, etc.
These are very bold claims of sexism. No one can really comment until they're somewhat proven.
My comment was mainly about a "bro" environment and harassment which is more tangible.
- watwut 10y agoIf the bros in question assume I am competent, they are milion times easier to work with then dudes who assume my idead are bad without listening to them. Not that it would be exclusive. The things parent poster listed affect you career and ability to achieve more then sex jokes.
- wolco 10y agoFocus on the code. Who cares how others see you.
- taejo 10y agoHow others see you determines whether they will cooperate with you, give you information you need to do your job, hire you, fire you, promote you, and how much they will pay you. Jobs where you can "focus on the code" to the total exclusion of dealing with other humans are practically non-existent.
