The victim mentality is the basis of all of the problems in modern -isms. People who (perhaps rightly) feel maligned by the world congregate, become an echo chamber, and then build in intensity. In effect, their altered perception of reality becomes their coping mechanism for something painful or traumatic that may have happened in their lives. Throw in a few drama addicts or discordians, and you have a recipe for zero discussion, and zero progress. Is there sexism in tech? Yes. Is it condoned by the majority? No. Is it generally called out when it happens? Yes. These people don't need to be derided, ignored, or educated. It wont work. They need healing.
