I'm often wondering how common that kind of talk really is nowadays ? Especially in the 30 something generation.
I mean I have known some dicks here and there that would really think the annotated version, but I have never met one that would say it out loud. They would just do the usual unprovable discrimination: lack of advancement, being a dick in the evaluation, failing interviews, lack of raise ... the usual silent career killers that women ( and foreigners, ... ) face. I have heard of some bosses being afraid that a women would go on maternity leave, but they would not ask - they would just assume there is a risk and find whatever other excuse ( and there are so many in our fields )
We have been planning interview strategies with my wife, so that she would subtly let it known that she is happy with the number of kid we have and that she is 100% in the job without being prompted - because she won't be.
Personally those are the kind of stuff I would like not to have to do. I'm more in favour of controversial stuff like quota of women in tech, than focusing on PC like "dongle" drama. If a big chunk of your bosses and colleague are women, I can't of somebody stupid enough to say shit like in the article.
