This comment sounds exactly like the comments that are sometimes made when discussing sexism in tech by men. "Does sexism even exist in tech? I've never seen anyone be sexist in front of me."

It doesn't prove anything one way or the other, but it is the exact same rhetorical strategy.

This also isn’t necessarily rhetorical. The reason you won’t see it is because people pick up on just enough social cues that if you are likely to react badly to it, they probably won’t do it in front of you.
