And yet, women still come here, you're reading the response from one right now.

Just because some women are thick-skinned enough to put up with it is no excuse for driving away those who aren't.

I used to think feminism was largely a solved problem. The major battles were won and we just needed to wait for the dinosaurs to die out. Pay equality has a way to go, but it's getting better, so why worry?

But not all numbers are moving in the right direction. Female Computer Science grads peaked at 35% way back in 1984 and have fallen down to 12% in recent years. Women representation in top creative positions in the film industry are in the mid-teens and falling.

You can't convince me that women stink at math and logic or don't see a useful career in computers, or that they aren't interested in making movies. So I can only conclude that without enough feminist pressure for reform, a boy's club culture is re-asserting itself in certain industries, and it makes the environment toxic for women in ways both subtle and obvious.
