My positive experience as a woman in tech

    When we compare the lot of a 16 yo girl in Rwanda to a
    High schooler in SF, yes it is hard to find where the High
    schooler is having problems, but...

You should have stopped at this "but". Do you seriously think that it's reasonable to put into the same basket the girls' problems in Rwanda and girls' problems in modern San Francisco?

No it's not reasonable - that's the point. The OP came up with "sexism is overrated" - I wanted to point out that if you are a girl in large parts of the world that's a frankly laughable statement. It is also wrong in modern western world, but not to the same degree - but it is still measurably wrong to think sexism is over rated.

I think it's fair to assume that the OP was speaking within the context of working in the IT industry
