This isn't sexism, this is just a culture she doesn't like. That's fair, maybe tech culture could be improved, but this idea that it's because of sexism seems like a huge stretch, and the fact that it has to change because she doesn't fit in seems extremely solipsistic on her part. Lets think like an anthropologist for a moment: tech culture evolved over time with it's own distinct style. Before you look to change it, perhaps understand it? Why it is the way it is? What are its values? Why is she so special that tech culture needs to change to suit her specific needs? Not all people are the same. I probably wouldn't fit in in the culture of fashion, for instance, but that's not their fault, and I wouldn't want the fashion industry to change on my behalf. For instance, the whole thing about how she felt upset that people didn't want to be "educated" by her. Almost every great leader I've worked under always had the same philosophy that they felt like they were constantly learning things from the people below them. We have leaders, yeah, but I think in tech the culture is a lot more collaborative -- you're in charge, but in a healthy relationship we're both going to learn things from each other. It seems like she was trying to be a mentor for people who didn't particularly want or need it. Again, why is that everyone else's fault? I have empathy for her disappointment, but that's on her.
