At the risk of being perceived as chauvinistic, which I absolutely don't consider myself having grown up in a household of capable women, this article seems to be overly sensitive. Some comments are clearly inappropriate and others are overly sensitive. Or at least would require context to take them as a negative. In my sample of one I have never seen sexist behavior in tech world and typically expect more accepting behavior. Maybe my view is too limited? Have other people see this as endemic culture in scale?

Some of these are context-free. And, here, "context" might mean the person saying it, and what he's said before. It might be a hugely chauvinistic person saying some of these things, which colors the interpretation. I think if the article suggests anything, it's that you think a bit harder about anything you say. It's also clearly for entertainment purposes as well, so there's probably some amount of exaggeration to the offense that she's taken with these comments.
