Why I'm sick to death of being a woman in tech

I think there are two additional elements other than her being a woman for all she described, that probably contribute as much: she&#x27;s young, and attractive. The former alone is enough for most of her examples to work equally with male recipients. In fact, I&#x27;ve seen some of them (or similar situations) happen to males.<p>Not that I want to downsize the problem women in tech face, but this not, actually, <i>only</i> a gender problem. And, let&#x27;s face it, it&#x27;s not only a tech problem.

This is a good perspective -- pointing out e.g. how when the media even tries to report on how casual sexism affect the industry, it usually mangles the real issues beyond recognition. The title doesn&#x27;t really do the article justice.
