OP made unabashedly broad claims about an entire generalized industry, saying something happens everywhere, yes even at your company where you think everything is fine and there's no problems, yes, it happens there too. this implies that literally every measure possible taken at every possible corporation in the entire broad field of "software" continues to be ineffective at solving these problems, and that we must be aware of this. OP went out of their way to both leave no room for nuance in this assertion and to provide zero solutions or ideas for solutions for solving this problem, and implied that it was endemic to women working together with men (in software, I guess). what other possible alternative interpretation is there?

> this implies that literally every measure possible taken at every possible corporation in the entire broad field of "software" continues to be ineffective at solving these problems

OP did not imply that; read their comment again, you will note that they actually stated the opposite of your accusation quite clearly. That there is more work to do (their point) directly contradicts your assumptions.

> implied that it was endemic to women working together with men....what other possible alternative interpretation is there?

The only interpretation of OP that I can see is that there exists a problem and that being aware of the problem existing is a key factor in solving it.

I have no idea where you got these ideas from in OP's comment, I read quite the opposite from it actually.

I don't see how you read "this happens where you work" any differently

You don't see the difference between pervasive and intractable?

you don't see the difference between pervasive and literally in every single workplace of a given profession?

Pervasive means present or noticeable in every part of a thing or place.[1]

the basic idea that anything could be literally, explicitly 100% "pervasive" at literally every place in the entire world regardless of culture is so far beyond ridiculous it's nowhere even near entertaining, and the sheer delusion in making such a statement, including explicitly doubling down on any chance of doubt or wiggle room, is so far beyond the pale that it's just plain silly, and can only be made by someone who has minimal life experience and is extrapolating said limited life experience to the whole world
