> I do sometimes wonder what's added by focusing on sexism in tech, in particular, and suggesting it's uniquely a problem with tech.

Same here, especially when I think back on _years_ of solving computer problems where it was just me and some computer that was _incapable_ of caring about my gender or ethnicity. I would say that tech should be more insulated from sexism and racism than most professions, because the compiler simply does not care. Somehow there's _more_ sexism in tech than in jobs that involve talking all day?

I could come up with a story that explains why technical work would more readily admit of sexism, e.g. less opportunity to learn to see coworkers and customers as people rather than gender-based caricatures. I don't think this is a big factor either way, though...
