My 2 cents (not a woman):

- It may be bad in technology, but it's much worse in some other industries. (Like Finance)

- There are companies that are known for making a stand on discrimination and other similar issues. She should actively seek one of these out, rather than try to change the culture in a place that isn't.

Making a stand on this situation may lead to retaliation from the team.

I don't mean individuals making a stand, I mean the companies themselves. Some companies are visible and vocal about non-discrimination, valuing diversity and being good place for everyone to work and advance their careers. One sign is how many women and minorities are on their boards, and in senior positions. Then look to see how vocal they are about these issues. If a company takes a stand, it's a good sign.

This is why I say find the right culture, don't try to change the existing one.

She may need to find a new team. Not saying its fair, nor right.
