this is just a rehash of "you shouldn't complain because other people have it worse"

  Not at all. I think the characterization of tech as especially bad is incorrect and put forward only by those with no experience in other industries.

    As I thought more about this, I realized (again) that the reason this happens is that people in tech are more likely to have blogs and other ways to make themselves heard. They don't see their privilege. This article could easily be titled "4 Times I Felt Discriminated Against for Being a Female" and drop the word "Developer". The oppressed in other industries don't have as much power. This reinforces the case that those who oppose the tech industry having an outsize influence on culture.

    No, that’s totally what your initial statement conveys. Whether that’s your intent is a different thing.
