I really wish that were true, but it's not what I've observed in general.

Granted, the "hacker culture" I'm most familiar with is the "security-type" of hacker (as opposed to developers/makers), but its culture is rife with every kind of 'ism imaginable (sex, race, what have you).

I suppose there's some solace in the fact that at least the discrimination isn't exclusionary.



Agreed. Also look up "sexual harassment at conferences" for a handful of recent examples.
