Unfortunately I don't have enough points to downvote this so I'll just have to speak up.

> entrenched misogyny, racism, and sexism tolerated by so many white anglo saxon.

During my 15 years, as a white anglo saxon male, working at 8 companies of various size across Canada I have never met a man who hates women. Over the last say 10 years I have always been the minority by race and have reported women 40% of the time.

It would be nice to have more women in IT (yes please!), but the crap you just spewed must not represent all of IT around the world.

I don't have an appreciation for the intro. I think it detracts from an otherwise great blog post. And I think it's ok for people to have mixed feelings about it too.
