That doesn't alter the fact that a) there is tech. industry sexism, b) your examples scarcely prove your assertion that the majority of loud accusers are bad apples, c) non-experts in a field can still call out problems in that field.

What are some examples of tech industry sexism, as you see it?
Horvath? That whole situation was seven shades of wrong; I don't think it proved anything about institutional sexism at GitHub, but it certainly demonstrated how poor (or at least, how inconsistent) their HR practices were. Her story would set (good) HR managers heads on fire, and I'm still surprised she didn't sue them over it all. (I do disagree with her opinion on the meritocracy issue, though: meritorcracy is something all organisations should strive for, and a term of which we should be proud).
