There are a lot of very provoked males in these comments. Could this possibly correlate to the article which is based on experiences from someone not being a male in tech? It seems easier for most to get into lengthy counter arguments about why it isn't like the article states, rather than acknowledge that there might actually be a real problem here. How come so many female tech people seem to share these same experiences if it isn't structural?

Selection bias. Women who have ordinary experiences don't write angry blog posts about them, or don't get upvotes.

Or they don't write blog posts because they don't want to have to endure the flame war that follows.
