This ridiculous thing is the second top comment in the HN thread and people still try to say we don't have a problem with sexism in the industry.

This ridiculous thing is the second top comment in the HN thread and people still try to say we don't have a problem with sexism in the industry.
- Joeboy 11y agoSince we're there, I feel like saying that my own experience is that while the tech team is undoubtedly imperfect, we're generally less overtly sexist than our colleagues in management and other areas, and I feel like we get an unfairly bad rap. My own experiences make me skeptical that hiring bias or misogynistic culture are the reasons that women are more poorly represented in tech than in other business areas. I acknowledge that this is all anecdotal, and I don't work in SV or indeed the US. But I guess we agree that the OP's focus on ova and sperm is not a productive way forward.
