The most telling thing for me when I was reading this post is that I was just looking at the words and assumed the author was a woman, because they were writing about sexism and poor treatment of women in the tech industry. It wasn't until I scrolled back up and looked at the image in the sidebar that I realized the author of the post was actually male.
Not that men don't ever write about such issues, but I guess I'm so used to seeing such articles penned by women that I assumed that this one was also written by a woman. That mental bias I experienced alone is demonstrative of how rarely men speak out.
