All of the articles seem to want to paint men who work in the field as sexist.
Er? None of the articles that I provided did so.
I'm sure some places are like that, but sob stories from "well known engineers" without any hint of investigation are the opposite of persuasive to me.
I'm sure that the companies questioned were tight lipped about it. Still, I wouldn't say that there was no investigation - the reporters did get some information on big name tech companies (e.g. Google, Facebook) on the percentage of women employed as well as their policies regarding gender and hiring.
I'm sure an enterprising reporter could find many more such stories from men who felt like they were discriminated against for some reason other than their talent on the job.
