I think from a harm minimization perspective, it makes sense to treat complaints of sexism from the minority faction more seriously than complaints of sexism from the majority faction.

Also, I disagree that people would complain if the same stuff was written by a guy working in nursing.

You don't mean minority/majority, but yes.

If he means women in tech, he probably means minority/majority.
