I don't really get why ^this^ is being downvoted. It most definitely is NOT the industry by itself. It's humans in general.

There's a difference between

> few people

and

> humans in general

I tend to agree with you - humans in general are awful, and I'm not convinced "the tech industry" is any worse.

hashtag not all industry!!

I think what you're not getting from this comment is that it's not "a few", but it's "many enough to make this person's life considerably worse".

And that this behavior is partially enabled, because there is a culture that, while not openly condoning it, lets this behavior go on in it's underground.

That means very much the "an industry".

One person is enough to make another person's life considerably worse. That doesn't mean a thing about the circles either one's involved with.

But if the industry continues to enable those few...

Did you just yell #NotAllMen?

Pattern matching an argument to a hashtag is not a refutation.
