I feel very uneasy when I hear stories like these. I just can't get into the heads of those people. It's as if I live in a different reality, I just cannot comprehend that. It's such a great pity if a woman gets discouraged from pursuing her goal because of those asswads. I don't want to leave an impression of turning a blind eye to the problem. I did say that I believe there are people who think like that, but I have a lowly opinion of them.

Is it so hard to agree with the idea that you do in fact live in a different reality? You and I are naturally blind to what women experience. Doing deductive reasoning is impossible -- the best tool in developing a holistic understanding of sex-based systems of inequality is: listening to what women have to say. And doing inducive reasoning based on that data that you didn't have before. This is the case generally, not just in software engineering.
