That perhaps has been your experience but it is by no means universal. In my 25+ years of experience, almost all devs and sys admin types were males, but when females were on the team, they were welcomed and respected by the males.  Never did I witness harassment -- certainly it happens, but probably is less prevalent in technology because of the focus on getting the job done.  Racial diversity likewise.  Most dev teams these days are a very diverse mixture.  Everyone at my office except for myself and one sys admin are from south Asia or China today.  Should I be alarmed?  No.  They&#x27;re great and we rely on each other every day to get work done.  Sorry if that hasn&#x27;t been your experience.
