There is a lot to like about the article and it makes some great points, but it also does a lot of 'wild leaps' when they favor the argument the article is making. In short, it requires geeks to re-examine their own revenge fantasies of being outsiders who now rule the world and admit that they might, themselves, be actively excluding others. Right, sure.. there couldn't be any other reason than some type of strange 'revenge'. And I'm sure feminists are all about just getting 'revenge' for when some guy dumped them. This is why seemingly tiny, individual acts of sexism — like innocent dongle jokes – matter. Such “microaggressions” combine to reinforce structural sexism. There is probably sexism in the tech industry (and in every other industry too), but making a dongle or fork joke is in no way sexist. It is immature, but there is definitely nothing sexist about it. It's akin to Shakespeare having his characters make a joke or two about needles. Or is Shakespeare now sexist too? (Let me guess, he is?) I think it's important to realize that there is nothing unique here about the tech industry. The same types of jokes are made every day in schools across the world - and the most sexist areas I have ever been in have been the mining and physical labour industries in Africa. The pre-school industry is most developed countries is equally sexist, with every male teacher viewed as a sexual predator. The tech industry is amazingly non-sexist compared to that. If you want to convince people with your points (I was fairly convinced up till around half way through your article) - you need to stick more to actionable reality.
