While I agree that this 'gotcha culture' stuff is nonsense, being offended that there are "claims" of sexism just means you're not paying attention. Do you know any female programmers? The amount of bullshit my wife has had to deal with makes me crazy. It's mind boggling what a lot of women have to put up with. Yes, of course some people blow things out of proportion but it's nuts to say tech is some magic bubble where people are blind to differences. I believed that when I was a lot younger but I'm not blind and cannot believe it now. There are too many guys who act like jerks to women for no reason or are unprofessional / creepy in the workplace even when told about it. The key is, don't be a dick and do your best to treat people equally. That will get you pretty darn far.
