Interesting read. Reminds me of different cultures and complacency (mine). To clarify, I work in IT and sit in a room with 11 IT pros, of which yesterday there were 3 women a sad drip from a year ago when there were 5. Across the business we have better balance because of women in sales, finance, science and managent. Still, balance is often on the agenda when we recruit.
And while I see conflict and collaboration across the board, I find the conflict has zero observable correlation with sex and seems to correlate perfectly with personality and style. Conflict most common between the conservative and progressive mindsets and between the blunt and the politic combination line communication styles.
The complacency I mentioned arises from the forgetting that not all businesses are alike in this space and I have no overview of the industry, let alone internationally (for what it's worth my experience is in Hobart, Tasmania which for some is nearly the end of the world and may not represent global patterns well).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
