This is an incredibly important thread about sexism in the workplace (and how to make it less brutal) but as an aside: "culture fit" is a huge red flag in queer and ND communities too. No, we don't all listen to the same music or enjoy the same shows or go to the same places or practice the same hobbies. Anyone telling you otherwise is trying to pull a fast one.
Like half the men I've worked with have done something sexist, and most of those guys were usually cool
most of the time it was something when they were already mentally taxed and not something they'd have done if they weren't distracted (ie, they're behind schedule, someone needs to take notes from meeting. Make the only woman engineer take notes without examining why they thought that's who should have to take notes, proceed to worry about 5 unrelated things)
It's a UX issue, not a user issue
