She says "it's not that bad" and then goes on to explain that abusive behavior happens because of the capital raising dynamics. So in fact the abuse is happening... It's understandable for a woman to come out and say "look it's not that bad", because it's true that in a majority of cases, women in tech are treated fine and the media shouldn't make the tech environment look like it's a giant college dorm. But, at the same time, it is true that some pockets of college dorm culture still exist. And because the tech culture is so homogenous (geeky male college grads) and isolated, extreme and abusive behavior towards those outside the culture arise more easily. Media attention is necessary so that the people who evolve in that culture day in day out can have a reality check.
