There is honestly nowhere one can escape sexism in tech. It is everywhere all the time. That was the lesson from that awful book "Lean In". It's a lesson I keep learning successfully leading teams.
Men will always favor other men. Over women. Every time. Right now, women are not truly included. Because we're not truly considered to be people.
If you can accept this, and if you can keep the focus on the work, and if you can absorb gut punches, and if you have enough margin, then you're good.

@abraxas3d@mastodon.radio I think that it's far more widespread than tech. As a society we were making progress towards equality for a while, but for reasons I'm still not understanding, this progress was globally and actively undermined by people claiming to be religiously motivated. I suspect that started in the 1980's when Ronald Reagan was elected and just gained traction since. The reversal of Roe v. Wade was the final nail in the coffin. Europe appears to be trying, but I'm not sure if it will succeed.
