Straight white software engineering male here - I've never worked in an environment where I thought it to be sexist. Is the environment out there worse than what I'm seeing or seem to believe?
- wpietri 9y agoAs another straight white man, let me suggest that we are generally the last people to notice discriminatory environments. We are all much more likely to notice things that harm us than things that work in our favor. The way to find out the extent of this problem is to listen to the people most likely to experience it.
- roguecoder 9y agoGiven how few women there are in tech, you can be extremely unlikely to have seen it and a woman can be very likely to have experienced it, both at the same time.

- PopsiclePete 9y agoYour comment honestly reads a bit like a joke. Maybe it was meant as a joke, kudos to you. But if not.... "As a member of King Louis XVI's royal court and someone who spends every minute of their life in the palace of Versailles, I haven't personally seen any poor people in France. Do they really exist out there?"
- camelite 9y agoYes being a swm is totally comparable to being a member of king Louis xvi's court. Smdh Hacker news is going nuts in this thread, or being actively brigaded.
