Not sure I agree that men have a pressure to succeed that women don't. My wife faced plenty of this pressure in her software career: as a point of professional pride, as a prerequisite to career advancement, and because her family raised her to be financially independent. Stuff you cite was all stuff my wife went through as much as I.

He is talking about a generalization. Just like men can be victims of sexual harassment as well but it is most likely more common that women are.

And I question the generalization prima facie, as it does not reflect the experience of me or the women I'm close to. Unless there's data to support it?
