      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.

            There’s no such thing as sexism?

            That’s a bizarre conclusion to reach from what I’ve said.

            Are you suggesting it’s never about gender?

            It’s not about gender, indeed, it is about behavior and character of individuals. If you look at systemic and structural sexism, they are not about the gender of individuals in the system either.

                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.

                I said it’s not productive to attribute shitty behavior to gender. Sexism isn’t about the gender of the people who behave in a sexist way, the effects of sexist behavior are obviously always about gender.
