Tech industry workforce is not a representative body. Normally we'd describe the situation as 'greater female participation in the industry'. The dissonance is reminiscent of Russell's conjugation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotive_conjugation

Bertrand Russell, who expounded the concept in 1948 on the BBC Radio programme The Brains Trust, cited the examples:

I am firm, you are obstinate, he is a pig-headed fool.

I am righteously indignant, you are annoyed, he is making a fuss over nothing.

I have reconsidered the matter, you have changed your mind, he has gone back on his word.

None of these groups speak as one voice. People project meaning based on their own worldview.

A political group clearly stating their opinions is a different thing than people projecting meaning which was not intended.

Black lives matter the organization as much as one exists, has also had some fairly unsavory statements. I wouldn't necessarily attribute all of the beliefs of a group to each of its members.
