It happens everywhere. The tech community just seems to really wants to fix this issue. But it really doesn't help when things like this read as if they are blaming all men. Even a lot of things that are supposed to help bring women into tech is not that effective as could be. Some exclude men from attending which doesn't help with the most important issue: helping women work better with men and helping men work better with women.

It would be much better that instead of referring to men as sexist jerks, we refer to sexist jerks as sexist jerks. I have yet to meet someone who has openly been against women working in tech, but I sometimes feel that it takes one post on medium to make it feel like we are not really progressing in the slightest.

Read the "What can you do?" section at the very least.
