Horror Stories From Women in Tech

The article does a poor job of convincing me that any of these problems are unique to the tech industry.

Journalism: http://jezebel.com/#!5738019/where-are-the-women-at-highbrow... Film: http://womenintvfilm.sdsu.edu/research.html Music: http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/news...

A more appropriate title would be 'Horror Stories from Women dealing with Wealthy Men in Powerful Positions"

Can anyone name an 'Industry' in which is this NOT the case? Otherwise, singling out the tech industry is counterproductive and unfair.

I don't work in any other industry. If I was a doctor, I'd want to learn about sexism in healthcare. But I'm not. I'm in tech. I want to know what's happening in my industry.

It's wrong to single out one industry, yes, but it doesn't mean that the industry itself can't try to improve its own situation even if other ones fail to.

Where in the article does she say it's unique to Tech?
