That statement, along with the clueless repetition that &quot;women are paid 70% of what men are paid&quot; really turned me off from the piece.<p>I agree that racism and sexism are problems. I definitely try to not be racist and sexist myself. I even try to actively correct for my own unconscious bias.<p>But it&#x27;s not my responsibility to fix sexism in the tech industry. I&#x27;d rather focus on some other problems which I think are more serious—global extreme poverty, for example—and that shouldn&#x27;t be a moral failing on my part.
