> But it will take a complete tear-down and rebuild to make the tech world the kind of place we’d [i.e. women] want to be. Imagine if men said this, and put it forth as a social goal as this author does -- they would justly be accused of sexism. So hey, knock yourselves out, but don't expect to be treated any differently than men would be, saying and doing the same things. Why? Gender equality, that's why. Or is that no longer the objective? If women really want to succeed in tech in spite of stupid, counterproductive male behavior, they should consider starting their own companies and financial institutions (women control 60% of U.S money) to achieve that goal. I know this would work. And how do I know? Because men did it -- they established male-dominated tech and financial institutions, and have systematically excluded women from all but trivial and demeaning positions. It's women's turn to use the same strategy -- if they choose. But continuing to complain about men, continuing to blame men for women's standing in tech? That's a losing strategy compared to voting with your feet. Stop whining, start networking. Stop trying to accommodate the enemy.
