I&#x27;m still studying and have never encountered obstacles set up by people with institutional power over me, so I am to a degree naive and privileged, however I was talking more about the day to day interactions that happen with a myriad of different people, mostly your peers (which apart from a few instances where it was the &quot;bosses of tech&quot; causing the problems, from what I remember reading the sexism usually came from the coworkers of the women). I definitely wasn&#x27;t commenting on the application of the author&#x27;s thoughts to all of human interaction, and didn&#x27;t mean to come off that naive.
