>>Unfortunately, in some parts of the tech community, it's not just a few bad apples, but very bad culture. IME, the VFP community is pretty amazing in the treatment of women as equal partners. I'm sure that's partly because there have been visible female leaders in the community pretty much from day 1. When I read about some of what women in other tech communities go through on a regular basis, I'm very grateful that I landed in this community.

>When you say "some women in other tech communities go through on a regular basis", what do you mean? There have been random incidents (and they are very bad when they happen) but I don't know if I've ever heard anyone characterize it as a regular basis.
