Can you quantify somehow that the tech industry is more sexist than other industries? It has become this meme, but I never really saw any data, just anecdotes.

I have seen men from all walks of life crack ugly jokes, so I am really not convinced that it is especially bad in the tech industry. Not to defend ugly jokes, I just think the problem is blown out of proportion. There are bad apples everywhere, but the majority of people are actually fine and nice to get along with.

I am a guy and I wouldn't be comfortable in a sexist environment, and I haven't found the tech industry particularly uninviting so far.

If anything, I guess modern women have a problem in that computers are sometimes more interesting than women. If that is sexist, too, OK, we have a problem in the tech industry.

As for nursing, I suspect part of the problem is that men can not afford it. That is, it doesn't pay well enough to support a family.
