> High school boys in tech are much more likely to be misogynistic and socially inept than other high schoolers are. Speaking from the perspective of a current high schooler in tech, this is untrue. I organize the math club, and robotics club. The gender ratio for the math club is 50:50 (4 female members, 4 male), while the robotics club has a ratio of around 33:66 (around 5 female, 10 male). I have seen few, if not none instances of sexism in these clubs. The kids in these clubs are not really "in tech", but they are interested in science and math, which are similar fields to tech (and I suspect that their is overlap between science/math interest and programming/CS interest). Now, your claim of them being socially inept has some truth to it, but these kids rarely have negative intentions behind their "social slip-ups".
