These kind of people will alienate a lot of men too. "Oh no! There's a woman in this conference room! I better just shut up and not say anything just in case she takes offense at my talking about my dislike for DRM dongles. Too bad that this means we'll be shipping a DRM-encumbered product, but my job and reputation are more important to risk being fired over perceived sexist comments, even if it saves the company from financial ruin in the long run." When every perceived slight ends up triggering thermonuclear war, people will stop interacting with each other.
