I believe neither of the things you have concluded I believe. I'm just not convinced that it is a problem particular to tech. I think there is a bias caused by the fact that victims in tech are more likely to have blogs and conferences that involve drinking around campfires.

> I believe neither of the things you have concluded I believe. Good on you, but that does not change that this is very much the way your original statement comes across as. > I'm just not convinced that it is a problem particular to tech. Cool cool cool, I happen to agree with that, and even think that — assuming it's even possible to objectively quantify the problem — there are probably other industries much worse off than tech (as oft-repeated, the "casting couch" has been a long-standing "joke" in movie and TV). However expressing that statement in a discussion following from witness testimony about the problem being observed in the tech industry helps fighting the problem… how? At no point does the article state that the issue is exclusive to the tech industry, and your comment is the highest-rated one which infers one such claim, the next one (by user Spooky23) merely asking about it.
