Eh, my team is this way, but it’s because we’re aerospace adjacent which further compounds the problem. The only woman on our team is awesome and everyone gets along great. No one has an inflated ego or feels the need to one up each other though, which tends to be the root of the issue in my experience. Lots of tech bros feel the need to put others down, and see women as an easier target unfortunately.

I think they meant men in specific in this case. I don’t know that there’s a huge problem of women being sexist against other women in tech.

Are you suggesting it’s never about gender? There’s no such thing as sexism?

Sexism isn’t about gender? What the hell are you talking about?
What I believe they mean is that you shouldn’t counter sexism with sexism.
While there are a lot of sexist guys in tech, not every guy in tech is sexist.
