I don't think it is what I said. I know the guys who sent a lot of CVs, and not getting a bite at all (hence the complaining they don't find jobs, and blaming companies for being corrupt and only hiring people with connection: It doesn't mean companies are saints, it just means companies recruits can't all be incompetent people who only know someone-companies are successful, at least some have got to be good at their job-).

And the music industry, from my outsider eyes, is at least as sexist -if it is at all- as the tech industry, or more:

It's easier to be known as a hacker for your work, without people knowing who you are, which gender and if you smell, than it is to be known as a musician: I don't know if there has ever been a faceless rockstar, but there have been faceless hackers. (I don't know what you look like, but I know your nickname and admire your work: For all I know, you could be a woman).

My point is: There are some women who seem to be respected in the tech industry.. What are they doing right that made them overcome any sexism that would exist in their companies, etc..

I didn't mean to say it doesn't exist, I just meant that there seems to be people for whom it was a hurdle, but somehow they managed to do well for themselves. And if they can do it, why not strive for that for people in this demographic (can be stretched to include arguments about racism (There's at least one black man who's done well, and is the President of a rather important country, if I were black, I'd say "Why not me, why wouldn't I have that kind of success/achievement").

My main frustration is when people take themselves out of the responsibility equation from the get go: "It can not my fault, let's find someone who's responsible for my misery. Anyone in my situation with success is an exception".. And the fact it's "trendy" to whine in blog post after blog post about how unfair the world is.
