I didn't mean to say that it only happens in high tech. But:

(1) I'm in technology for 20+ years, and didn't know this sort of thing happens, and

(2) Technology people often like to think that we're in a meritocracy, in which smart/good people do well, regardless of whether they're male or female.

These stories, along with many others, have shattered my naivete. We're just as bad as everyone else -- and maybe worse -- and need to actively combat it.
