Or possibly you're predisposed to an opinion and only look to reinforce it instead of challenge it?

That could go both ways.

My point is that I look all around me and I do not see anyone in my circle being sexist to women about their role in tech(or lack thereof). I coach a mixed basketball team and the girls are the best and most poised athletes on the team. Not a single one of the boys has complained or made a comment about it.

I watch my daughter grow up, in her 2nd year of school, as she takes to reading/writing over math. She's good at both, but she prefers the former.

I'm not saying sexism doesn't exist, I'm just saying that I don't see it to the scale that has the entire industry freaking out.

If anything, the SendGrid situation proved that it can go both ways.

> I do not see anyone ... I don't see it to the scale

What scale do you see it? And what's the acceptable/unacceptable threshold? Right now you are jumping squarely into "this isn't an issue please move on and grow thicker skin", which is a lousy place to start a discussion.

> entire industry freaking out.

I really don't think my or your opinion matters, instead perhaps we should encourage more bloggers like this to speak out so we can see if there really is a problem. You know, encourage more data from the source instead of anecdotes like your wife and math?

Because if there is a problem then we should solve it, right?
