Its not so much that men in tech are worse than men in other industries, but women are far more outnumbered in tech.
If you assume a constant rate of harassment (say 5% of men harass women per year) then a woman who works alongside 20 men and 5 women (a common ratio in tech) will get harassed more than a woman who works with 12 women and 13 men (a more typical non tech ratio).
And in truth I wouldn’t be surprised if as women get more outnumbered the frequency of harassment tends to go up.
