Not to diminish the issue at hand, but your quote (or rather, what you left out) makes it sound worse than it is. The full sentence is:

> More than half of the respondents said they either had a negative experience while applying for engineering internships or knew another woman who had a negative experience, such as being subjected to gender-biased interview questions and inappropriate remarks, or observing a noticeable lack of diversity when they interacted with company representatives during the interview process.

I considered leaving it in, but I figured it would be a trigger point for people to brush the rest of the sentence off as unimportant just because they didn't like one part of it. I'm not sure if you proved my point or if I inadvertently fulfilled my own prediction.
