I would hardly think bar culture is a good example of gender equality of any sort. As you say, in fact, disrespect a woman in any way and a stranger will probably knock you out. That's barbarism, right down to the preferential treatment and free speech oppression at best. Even so, why is gender brought up? The author only used it initially as an example of issues in the tech world. If you want to go there though, bars are the least inclusive (of non-stereotypes) because of the effects of alcohol; promoting our more "savage" traits. Personal experience.
