Yeah, I am married to someone who got death threats over email for daring to start a group promoting women's participation in free sofware projects. So never mind that most men in the industry aren't like that, a small proportion of toxic people still make for a poisonous environment.
And this is before we start quantifying how small that proportion really is, and how negative other aspects of discrimination can be. Death threats and sexual harassment are only the showy, extreme points of a very wide continuum of discrimination.
