Of course they are. My own findings corroborate this.

My personal theory is that the reason the tech industry is so hostile towards women is that it is mostly comprised of "nerds" and "geeks" who, being lower-status in society while usually being part of the dominant group (white men), are much more likely to be aggressive towards people not part of that group, women and people of color.

It's been quite a while that nerds and geeks are not lower status in our society.

Everyone claims to be a geek just for the hype. Superheroes movies are the most profitable, the video game industry is enormous.
