Because, the authors...

Work in tech.

So yeah, they are biased in wanting to get their industry in order. There is no ulterior motive, here, and no reason to get so defensive.

I don't think they have ulterior motive, I just think they go about it (whatever is it they are actually doing) in a completely wrong way.

I think that these "unwanted sexual advances" may come from the fact there is power differential, i.e. hierarchy and bosses. Maybe we could try to eradicate that first, that is, have more cooperatives (democratically owned and run companies)? In tech, these would be pretty easy to set up due to low investment requirements..
