But don't #menintech talk to #womenintech ?

Clearly not.

No one leads with this for obvious reasons, but every woman I know well enough to have a real conversation with (in tech or not) has plenty of stories to tell about harassment, marginalization and many out right assault before we even get to the complicated things like micro aggressions and structural/institutional misogyny.

@jon I think it's rather easily explained. Most people don't consciously treat women worse, it's usually implicit bias learned growing up in a deeply biased society. So the smaller scale incidents, microaggressions, etc. don't even register.
And of course, it's easier to notice you got the shorter end of the stick rather than the longer one; eg., it's hard not to despair when applying for a bunch of jobs with perfectly fine credentials and only get rejections, but most people won't think twice getting a job first try…
