This article is what happens to your mind when you watch mainstream media and believe what they say.

If you believe you are a certain way, you will be treated that way. Change your own perception and you change (your) world.

By focusing on what you dont like, you are living the reality you dont like.

I love all girls in tech by the way. Without them, office would be very boring. Some are pretty, some are cool, some are annoying. Because they are people, and thats what people are.

I'm not sure this is specific to the tech industry. Right or wrong, I think that "be competent at [job] and pretty/sexy/funny/personable" pressure is something a lot of women feel in a lot of jobs. I think a lot of times, that pressure is more imagined, or self-inflicted, than real.

As a not particularly attractive, introvert, female developer who has been rather successful in my career, I don't feel like I've missed out on any opportunities because of those traits.... and if I have, they're probably people I wouldn't want to work with, anyway.
