Perhaps it is sexist attitudes like yours that discourage women from staying in tech. Being targeted by misogyny day in day out isn't exactly a positive work environment.



I've always been very supportive of women interested in IT, and yet my experience is also that ... they just aren't as interested as men on average.

Just calling anyone with that experience a misogynist is not helping anyone except your own ego.


I am disabled. I am being targeted by random people who treat me like a subhuman on a daily basis. I am being subjected to patronisation on a regular basis. And I am still here, and doing my job. People like you naming me misogynistic is rather low on my list of insults. Dont lecture me about complications when dealing with peers. I know more about that then you will (luckily) ever experience yourself. So keep your accusations, I am not interested. IOW, I have no sympathy for whining. Life is hard, people need to own up, period.
