The community. There’s a whole lot of sexism. Overall it feels like all the part of the tech industry that make me feel skeeved out to work in it. When people try to speak up about it they get downvoted, flagged, and/or chided for off-topic discussions about it get shut down as off topic or not following the rules.
It’s hard to escape the feeling that it’s a community of almost all wealthy/privileged cis men.

And then people wonder why women don’t want to go into tech and make even more assumptions about our not being interested. Nope, it’s just that a whole lot of us quite understandably would rather work in a field where we’re not constantly made to feel unwelcome.
