&gt; And the &quot;sexism&quot; debate was stirred by people who were only tangentially involved in Tech, like the PR person &quot;Adria Richards&quot;. If you listen to actual women with actual Math, CS, or EE degrees, you&#x27;ll hear a different story.<p>As someone whose listened to actual women with Math, CS, and EE degrees (and women who are working in technical <i>roles</i> without degrees in those fields, as both women and men in the field do), I disagree. You&#x27;ll hear a mix of stories from those women, some positive, some as bad (or worse) than those from women &quot;tangentially involved&quot; in tech.<p>OTOH, I don&#x27;t think that sexism in the tech industry would fail to be a problem if it only victimized women in non- (or less-)technical roles within the industry.
