I didn't interpret that comment as a suggestion that you have an interest in suppressing women and minorities. But you might have a subconscious interest in maintaining your own worldview, wherein you're part of a group of people that 'gets' or 'finds value in' tech, and others aren't.

The subconscious forces that shape the way people think about these issues are the most pernicious.

I don't usually find subconscious arguments very convincing. They're kind of like appealing to magic, if that were a real fallacy.
