Actually the title and the interview didn't mention "women's difficulties with the masculine tech culture", and none of the women who were interviewed brought it up, either.

It seems to be kind of implied by the approach (why ask only women), which is exactly what annoys people because it is such a sweeping accusation.

I wonder in discussions like this, how many people who bemoan the masculine tech culture consider themselves to be part of the problem? Do you consider yourself part of the problem and too masculine? Or do you think it is only the other men who are to blame?

14 day old anonymous troll account intentionally distorting several claims I made.

you wrote: "the context of this discussion is SPECIFICALLY women's difficulties working within the masculine tech culture"

In what way did I misrepresent that? It is the only one of your claims that I referred to.

Btw just because an account is young it is not automatically a troll account. Watch your ageism.
