And what happens when people go and talk to men who started out in the tech pipeline but left? Don’t they say similarly negative things?

Yeah. I'm pretty sure being harassed, under-valued, talked over, stalked, underpaid, etc. are universally true.

I've encountered at least two at every single one of the 15 or so jobs I've had prior to this one. Most of them weren't in tech and I'm a man. Having a shitty job isn't exclusive to being a female in tech.

Perhaps men and women in tech face different challenges, and the challenges that women face are unique to women and related to their sex/gender expression.
