- eplumlee 13y agoYour statement begins with the presumption "Men discriminate against women." and flows from there. You and github begin counting, and see high representation in the tech industry by men, and low representation by women (and some minorities). This much is obvious. It's how you proceed from there, and naturally conclude "discrimination" is responsible for this discrepancy is not at all apparent to some of us. From my vantage point, the only exclusionary, discriminatory behaviors and attitudes in the tech industry are directed at men.
