My underlying thinking in what I said is due to massive generalizations that are so common today. When people say, "the tech industry is sexist" I understand that what they're saying is rooted in fact with hard-evidence and examples, but and this is the key, by making these sweeping generalizations it discredits those who are actively making an effort to solve these sort of problems.

So then usually the response is, "well I didn't mean every one, just those that are the causing issue" to which I like to point out how in the push to be PC and equalize everything, they are not policing their own words in the same manner that they police other people's words, for if that was the case, they would say, "some groups and subcultures within the tech industry are sexist" Generally speaking, when I see someone use "all" "everyone" or lack a modifier like "some" or "subgroup" I try to point out the absurdity of it.
