If that's true, I'd be really interested in knowing why. It's pretty hard to fix a problem if you don't even know what's causing it in the first place. (Especially since we've pretty much ruled out the possibility of racial or sexual discrimination.)

People can experience the same thing and have different reactions to it. Someone that already feels inadequate or like they don't belong as a programmer are likely to have a more negative reaction to SO's nonsense.
