That women in general are doing so well in college in general relative to men suggests crude language on the part of college men is not a serious problem. In the professional world, that kind of denigration would be completely unacceptable.<p>&gt; Also, let me tell you this story of two friends I knew who applied at a certain internet start-up on Market Street in San Francisco in 2014<p>I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s reasonable to generalize from this anecdote. Maybe he aced his interviews and she flubbed them.
