Note I'm not defending a "cultural fit test" here. I don't even know what that means, it's an amorphous concept with few specifics, everybody defines it how they want.

My point is that from day 1 you have to protect your group from outsiders who are unprofessional, toxic, and will sink morale and productivity. How you do it is up to you, but the issue cannot be naively framed as "companies are bad and sexist, while pure, good-natured, kind human beings are rejected from positions they deserve unfairly".

That's a nice fairy tale that falls apart once you yourself spend a few years hiring.
