I am saying that women are willing to deal with drama, ego and dicks when there's a motivation to cope with it.
As I see the current status of gender equality in tech, women working on a tech job are protected by their social status.
A female "junior" programmer could easily be harmed by "women do not know how to code", but with time and patience, they can go forward into the company hierarchy, and end in a position where their status protects such opinions.
In the free software world, it's more difficult to move forward in the hierarchy of a project, hence, time and patience gets consumed.
Now, take this with a grain of salt, because there's a big possibility I am wrong and just resorting to topics here.
