It is remarkable the sexism expressed by the posters to this article.  If one ever doubts the challenges woman have in tech, simply read many of the attached comments which reflect outdated attitudes, wrong information, sexist biases, and ignorance.  Then, one begins to have a grasp of the women in tech challenge.

Some of the more outrageous comments include:

"Tens of thousands of tech workplaces employing millions of people and here we have an author with an agenda cherry-picking a few incidents, propping it with selective research and in the process tainting a whole industry of predominately good people."

"The only thing male geeks want are people who can keep up. Gender, race, religion, and taste in clothing are utterly irrelevant. That is what failed female applicants don't get: there is no crying in IT."

"Toxic feminism is the real social problem."

There is a reason people are reluctant to be whistle blowers.  They face abuse and irrational criticism - just read these posts.
