I agree with what Maria says. One huge problem at this point, is that the "women in tech" problem is completely dominated by activists in this field, that does not happen to be always very balanced in their visions. Normal people try to disappear when there are those kind of discussions, because they escalate easily, and you can get hurt in many ways. So we as a community of programmers, should try to get more involved to avoid that only people with extreme over-reacting thoughts handle it.



Worse, lots of those activists aren't themselves "women in tech" rather they are "women doing <xyz> in companies that identify as 'tech'"
