Nor have I. I think it’s similar to the “War on Christmas,” it’s not something that is actually happening, but people like to pretend it is.

I have never seen a woman being harassed or otherwise mistreated in the workplace. Should I conclude that women do not experience harassment or mistreatment in tech?

This is a very bad faith argument, which is quite disappointing considering the other good points you’ve brought up in this thread.

The treatment of women in tech is a very well documented issue, to the point where one would have to be willfully ignorant of the issue. The biggest “evidence” of the War on Christmas is a coffee cup, and companies simply acknowledging the fact that many other faiths and cultures have celebrations during that time of year.

I have witnessed women being sexually harassed by some definition of the term or put down in a sexist way at every tech job I've been at. That being said I am against affirmative action.

I should have been clearer. I actually don't doubt that conservatives are sometimes ostracized; I just don't think, based on my limited experience (and not being one of them), that it happens routinely.
