My question is, perhaps, a less obvious one.

Why does it matter if you were discriminated against for being male?

If you were, that's an extremely rare occurrence. White cisgendered males in the tech world do not lack for job opportunities.

It matters because discriminating on the basis of gender is illegal. Period.

Not saying that's what happened (highly doubt it). But a pissing contest about who is discriminated against the most is not going to move the conversation forward or improve anything. There are, in fact, white cisgendered males who lack for job opportunities. Such people exist, and their problems matter to them, whether they do to you or not.
