I'll counter your anecdotal evidence with my own anecdotal evidence, which is that I've observed either the opposite or no difference in the companies I've worked for (I'm a man in IT in NYC). Either way, anecdotal, so shrug. But "a generation of men who've been sacrificed" is definitely something I've never seen signs of in the IT industry.

A separate thread has a much more plausible explanation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12686822

What? The article in the title just says "Women are promoted in 9 years against 12 for men", and you qualify examples as anecdotal?

No, I was not referring to the article. I'm only referring to the poster I directly replied to.
