I'm not sure you can conclude from accounts on sexual harassment alone that being a female tech-person is a less pleasant experience than being a male tech-person. Women do experience more sexual harassment in tech industry than men but they do not experience more harassment or workplace bullying overall. The harassment that is not of sexual nature is not necessarily less upsetting than sexual harassment. In fact the opposite might be the case: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bullies-work/workplace-bu...


Accounts on sexual harassment give one way in which being a woman is worse than a man.

I am aware of no study or plausible anecdotal evidence of a significant issue that men are exposed to that women aren't.

Lacking something to 'balance it out' I find it reasonable to conclude that women have a less pleasant experience.

In case of angry trolls, that's usually quite a long time.
