Its in everything if not daily to frequently

Be quicker to count those who haven't been harassed, discriminated against because of their gender, talked down to and over, their appearance critiqued, and been propositioned. Also told to f-king smile more.

Well y'all fostered this in your inception yourselves, seeing as your origin story was that you were right wing libertarian chuds.

Definitely an error. Good catch.

I can only imagine.

Geez, and if it was only tech!

This is news? Maybe it is to men, I guess?

Doesn't surprise me at all. 

You know why they labeled Women rights and Feminism as woke/cancel culture: to endure an abusive and harassment culture untouched, unchallenged.

I found that to be true in the healthcare jobs I've held for 25 years. The guys always got the promotions and always had higher pay. I don't think it is much different on any type of job.

This is why I became a Dominatrix

Oh, y'all. After several years at an IT job, the guy in the cubicle behind me - who I didn't think even knew my name - came rushing over shouting my name and saying he really needed my help... his zipper was stuck in his jacket and he couldn't get his coat off.

Well, technically he was right. ALL engineers are crazy, so female engineers are also crazy. But I don‘t see why he’d single out the women?

I don't get mistaken for the only other woman on my team all the time. I've never been told I'm aggressive. I've never learned to just keep talking over interruptors if I want to get a goddamn word in. I have never had credit stolen from me. I haven't been yelling about this for years. /s

100 %

Have a look at the pulp & paper industry, it's gross 🤦

Caste gonna caste.

I feel like this is general women’s existence in the world.

I am a woman. I worked in Silicon Valley for about 30 years. I have some stories.

Because tech is full of male nerds who couldn't get a date and have no interpersonal skills.

Retired female attorney here...nothing new...as it was and as it ever has been

Are you fucking kidding me.

I'm surprised you care enough to ask at all.

The needing strong sexual harassment insurance is nonsense. Like the behavior they described could be insured. Just silly.

My friends, last week a male co-worker 1/3 my age mansplained to me how to rinse out a kitchen sponge. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Marissa Mayer was the OG female evil villain.

They were denied opportunities because men can “handle the pressure better.” Another popular trope is the man who only seems to hear a good idea when another man says it. www.wired.com/story/women-...

So fight back. Someone harasses you, you punch them. It's LITERALLY self defense and yet people refuse to take that step. Go public. Name names and be loud. Why wouldn't you?

Could be any industry.

Yes, but that’s only because harassment exists in that environment. It’s a bit like saying “the longer you drive the higher the likelihood you witness a traffic accident”. The harassment shouldn’t be part and parcel of the environment.

Like a tech magazine putting out stories with headlines including things like “girlie language “. Sexism like that you mean??

Same in med tech and research.

Fucking weirdos and incels Please just go to therapy. If you make tech professional money, you have zero excuse

“Rather not say” should be in the left side of the bar chart, because it’s not “no” - and who would “rather not say” they *hadn’t* seen SA in the workplace?

Still ongoing. My employer lost a huge class action filed by female execs over 20 years ago. That IT giant is gone. Clearly, the problem has not.

I'm going to guess that you can just go ahead and extrapolate that out to all job fields in general.

Seen better

Tech firms with beer or a tap in any space are a red flag for anyone, especially women. End the interview, say no.

Don't need a survey

That’s true of many other industries as well!

That graph indicating less harassment probably just means that they stopped harassing her while she trained them all to make more money and get more promotions than she would. Right? Because this is what it's like in every career a woman has. Prove me wrong.

Women getting sexually harassed and underpaid happens in every field - tech does not have exclusivity.

Tech went downhill when the finance dudebros got into it. I went from being a valued contributor to "abrasive", "asks too many questions", "doesn't ask enough questions", and "bossy". Yes, I had someone tell me I was bossy. I was reviewing code with someone. It's "bossy" if a woman does it.

Accurate. I've worked in tech my entire career. 😩

Not minimizing the very real issue, but isn't the "the longer [any demographic] does [any experience], the more likely they are to have [any event]" Always going to be true, for literally any non-zero parameters?
