News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

They don't get discussed here because this is Hacker News, but this is discussed often in the media:

https://www.google.com/search?q=women+in+wall+street+sexism&...

What is interesting is that there seem to have been a burst of articles in 2016, but nothing in 2017. The first three pages of google results above have almost only articles from 2016, and a few from 2012, 2013, etc.

Maybe sexism sells more when it happens in the tech world, but unfortunately, I think it's happening in every industry , especially where women are a minority.

Perhaps because techies are seen as holier than you types? Sexual harassment stories in churches are way juicer stories than about other organisations.
