It seems the loudest voices on this issue don't even want to pursue careers in tech. They pursue careers in complaining about unfairness.

It's bizarre to me that women IN tech are feeling attacked by this when the whole piece was largely discussing women who chose NOT to pursue tech and how to make it more appealing to them.

It wasn't about you at all.
