Care to share your research data that this has to do with stigmatisation? And what exactly is "this field"? Field of those believing that the cause is stigmatisation? How about this assumption, which, I believe is also false?

"This field" refers to tech, and the startup scene in particular.

"Tech" is far too broad a term to be a legitimate field. I presume you don't really claim to speak for all technology-based industries.

1. In this case, I'm translating the top-level post, not speaking for anyone.

2. Idiomatically, "tech" usually refers to the computing (specifically software, in most uses) industry. I guess I could have said "Silicon Valley", but man, those extra 10 letters, very difficult :P
