Uh what? The OP is male, so he does have male privilege. That is, he will never have the same experience as someone who is a woman. To say that providing an outlet for woman to share their experiences is sexist against men is laughable.

If you are suggesting that privilege of experience doesn't exist or is somehow Marxist, you are basically saying that any experience other than your own isn't real and doesn't count. That is to say, you are calling everyone who has ever lived differently from you a liar.

No one will ever have the same experience as anyone else.

The point is, we are all minorities, depending on which way you cut the population. It doesn't really matter, unless you let it matter. especially in this industry.

What about "whites in tech"? Would that be racist? What about "blacks in tech?"

Or are you of the opinion it's impossible to be racist to white people, sexist to men, etc?

> It doesn't really matter, unless you let it matter.

Yeah, that's the kind of pathetic platitude that condescends in order to pretend nothing's wrong. Having trouble because you're black, female, wheelchair-bound, recovering from alcoholism, etc.? Pft. It wouldn't matter if only you'd stop letting it matter.
