And it's easy to blame something on sexism because sexism is common. Explicit patriarchy was the default mode for our society going back thousands of years. My grandmother was born when women weren't allowed to vote. My mother wasn't allowed to get a credit card, something only outlawed in 1974. Marital rape wasn't fully outlawed until 1993.
And those are just the laws. The culture, as so often, lags behind them. There are a zillion evidences that patriarchy isn't dead. Certainly so in tech.
