That poor girl. My gf’s only female teammate quit last month and i suggested she start grinding leetcode asap. Could you imagine being the only woman on a team? Pretty strong indicator that something is very wrong there.
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.

If you want women to feel welcome, you probably shouldn’t use gendered slurs.
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.
Still, it’s not productive to attribute shitty behavior to gender.
