Having watched all that evolve, I do agree overall on this (and -- to the Other Anonymous upthread: that's not the point. It might well be that there's a stronger preference in men towards technology, it might as well not. But I think we can agree that the hostile behaviour of the community towards minorities (women in this case) is something we want to change).

Still, there's some unease that we might be heading into a direction of "political overcorrectness", where the people in power hold an opinion but don't talk about it. That scares me even more.

Tough thing.
