Two points: first, I'm not unable to see these things; they've never occurred in my sight, nor have they occurred to anyone I've worked with. Second, the Ada Initiative's goals do not seek to change the way women are treated in the industry, but to get them in.

Point of interest, Russell.  What misogynism have you personally witnessed in the industry; or does my first point also describe you?
