> How will you solve the underrepresentation of women in tech? By forcing more women to take jobs they may not be interested in? By forcing companies to hire more women because 'gender diversity'?
So...
You're opposed to involving the part of the business tasked with stopping inappropriate behavior because that might result in accountability for the inappropriate behavior.
You're reframing a manager propositioning a new hire for sex as people being "offended".
You're suggesting that because there was no actual violence, management shouldn't be alerted.
And you're only ideas of how to solve the underrepresentation of women in tech is to force women into the jobs or force companies to hire more women.
I suspect you know your suggestions are meant to be straw men, but just in case, the correct answer to your question is to stop harassment of female employees. Stop dismissing the harassment of female employees as them simply being offended. Stop insisting management shouldn't be alerted to harassment because you're worried that they might do something about it.
My small part in solving the underrepresentation of women in tech is going to to be to support accountability for inappropriate sexual advances towards subordinates.
> Do women go through life fighting every day dealing with these advances and comments? Not that I've heard from my female friends.
And you fully intend to disregard all the women saying they do?
