Well, if you're writing in fragments only…

It finds four (valid) issues in the rest of your comment, though. So, maybe you should give it a shot for a few days. See what it can really offer you.

This is correct, there's first-class Overleaf support. https://languagetool.org/overleaf

LanguageTool is based on a pretty powerful open-source tool, that's running in the cloud but can also be run on-prem. So, no need to reinvent the wheel.

On a side note: companies usually don't want to do the right thing. They want to be perceived as wanting to do the right thing, while going down the easiest route.

But the easiest route won't cover applying the changes needed for the tech industry to become a place that's not a misogynistic dumpster fire.

Calling out what's wrong and pressing companies to leave the easiest route and actually do something about it will help. And that's — by the way — not snitching. It's called criticism.

Can you name a "female dominated industry"? I can only come up with industries, where the labor force is dominated by women. But the executive positions are still mostly owned by men.

Looks like you're the prototype of the spoiled brat that populates the male part of the tech industry. You think when you're able to solve a technical problem, you're able to solve every problem. That's the common combination of arrogance & ignorance so many other dudes are sporting.

It got boring long ago.
