Here's the part where I don't get it. Doesn't this happen to other industries, like banking, politic, entertainment, etc?

The framing it as “hey tech, we have a sexist problem” is making it sounds like there's no sexist problem in other industry.

I'm not supportive of sexism in the industry, but when it is framed that way, a part of me just couldn't bring myself to align with it.

We can say, hey sexism is a society issue but we tech industry can do better than others. We proud ourselves as the progressive front runner of civilization, so let's make sure we show it.

If you remove [tech] from the title, this article will still make sense, doesn't it?
