Frankly I'd be surprised if she had never been harassed in some way. I know a grand total of zero women a decade into their careers who have literally never experienced some kind of harassment. Without being able to speak for her, I can surmise that maybe she just doesn't feel it needs to define her.

One survey found 40% of women never experienced harassment,

Of course every survey may be flawed or mistaken, and we need to read carefully how they define harassment, etc. But based on that survey and others, and my own anecdotal experiences, I don't think we should be surprised when a woman says she never experienced sexual harassment.

This is a large industry, with lots of different cultures and experiences.

1. She grew up in Denmark 2. She works in the UK

From what I've heard, both are far more progressive and egalitarian than the US. If the people you know are based in the US, that could be the distinction.

I think the problems here are far worse.

That was my take on it too. It's also why I think her post missed the mark for me; she simply doesn't have experience with what she's writing about, because she's living a different society that doesn't experience the problem on the same scale, so her proposed solutions don't carry much weight to workers in Silicon Valley.

According to this survey, Sweden and Denmark are the worst for sexual harassment in the EU. 80-100% report being sexually harassed in Denmark.
