You can never overestimate the amount of sexual harassment women faces in the tech industry.
My Fiancée kept telling me about different incidents that happened with her and I used to always brush it off saying maybe you are reading too much. Until one of her other female colleague shared the same incident. I asked her to goto HR but be prepared for the backlash to the extent of firing. And as expected HR took no action, nothing. She changed firm and then the same story with different people. And I am not talking about small companies, they are Fortune 500 companies.
This industry seriously needs people like Fowler to come forward and write about it. I encourage my Fiancée to write her experiences as well.
