The question has been well-covered in a related discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6352595
A stubborn refusal to confront the problem is what helps these attitudes fester.

Commented earlier on another Women In Tech thread (seems to be the meme of the day). The question is not "Why are there so few women in IT?", it's "Why are so many men in IT such jerks?"
Interesting that HN keeps killing threads on this topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6360328 A stubborn refusal to confront the problem is what helps these attitudes fester.

Not sure this adds much to the story, but I think it's noteworthy that this was covered in a mainstream news program. I heard it on the radio yesterday.
The New Yorker has been covering misogyny in tech for a while, be it a "beat" or just a growing trend of coverage.

I heard the story too, and I was most offended that the reporter said that I would be offended by what we were about to hear. Also, what do they know about locker room attitudes? My locker room attitude is to get out of the locker room and into the gym, pool, etc. Calling it sexism seems sexist to me, since I'm a guy who wouldn't normally do that kind of thing.
On an 100% unrelated note, Adria Richards has transitioned from "Technology Evangelist" to "Programmer"?
