If folks like Shanley Kane really wanted to fix the issues in tech with respect to women, they should shut the fuck up about how terrible it is to work in tech as a woman.

Nothing equalizes that divide like having a looooot more women in tech. How far does one of these potentials have to google before they start reading how terrible it is working in our industry as a woman?

And then they wonder why women aren't flocking to the industry, but as usual, it becomes the fault of men who have done no wrong other than to tell women like Shanley that they've never witnessed the sorts of behavior Shanely constantly bitches about.

Terrible that. Having a different experience. That too must be the fault of the patriarchy...

If Shanley ever wants to be taken seriously she and her ilk need to stop alienating the men who are basically on her side.
