I'm amazed that you can also experience painful discrimination and conclude that nobody should notice that.

Isn't a better response to say that discrimination sucks, and that we should work to end it everywhere?

As a guy in tech, I have it good. But I have never forgotten how, back in the day, being a nerd among normal people sucked. That is part of why I work to end sexism in tech.

We all have different goals and limited amount of time. I will speak up in the case of injustice if it arises but it's not my duty to fight sexism, end world hunger, fight for peace or adopt Nigerian children.

As a guy, I think it is my duty to fight sexism, because I have benefited from it.

But even given what you say, it doesn't match with your earlier point. Saying that sexism isn't news is to suggest that not only do you not want to talk about it, but that we shouldn't either.
