&gt;OECD&#x27;s Social Institutions and Gender Index Is at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.genderindex.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.genderindex.org</a>, and is a litany of baked in prejudice, violence, lack of access to education, lack of access to property and other normal legal rights.<p>You have me.<p>&gt;When we compare the lot of a 16 yo girl in Rwanda to a High schooler in SF, yes it is hard to find where the High schooler is having problems, <i>but we just have to look at the ratio of men and women in tech to see there is a problem</i> - even in modern, western, progressive San Francisco.<p>&gt;So globally, sexism is a violent oppressive force holding back progress for billions.<p>Yeah, you lost me. Not only are you comparing things of <i>very</i> different degrees, your second example doesn&#x27;t even support your point.<p>Of course sexism is a major problem in large parts of the world. But you completely failed to apply that to San Francisco. Evidence of an employment ratio difference, or even a wage gap (without careful controlling of as many variables as possible), is not necessarily evidence of sexism.
