I agree the the environments should be open, but in the same way academia is, where putting ideas out there is fine but equally you should be prepared for them to be challenged. "Hostility" shouldn't be meaninglessly applied, but equally bad ideas shouldn't be encouraged. That said, the completely incorrect way of handling this is to bias the outcomes, a.k.a purposely hiring genders (or any group) to meet quotas, balancing pay checks despite job descriptions, etc. That just puts incentives for unhappy people to remain where they are, nobody wins that way.
