I am probably reading you wrong, but I feel fussy so I'm going to respond to you. Yes, things will be different in 15 years. I still want to know how things actually are for women rather than seeing things through a Pollyanna type lens. I want women to feel comfortable speaking their truth and not feel shut down. I kind of read your comment as, "Yeah that's your experience but things will be different so don't rain on someone else's parade" and that bothers me.

There is the possibility that in 15 years things will magically be 100% welcoming to women, I'm not holding my breath. I will encourage my daughter to go into tech if she wants to but I want her to do so knowing she is fighting an uphill battle if it exists.

As for traditionally male industries: I worked as a theatre tech for a few years. I got a lot of sexist, nasty treatment. It really wasn't worthwhile for me. Yes, it is better than it used to be. It still isn't good enough.
