Well, the needle on diversity/gender issues is certainly different from, say, five years ago. This shows that social change is possible even if we are not where we might want to be just yet. In addition, various success stories — admittedly in more plastic and hierarchical communities — show that toxic behaviour can be managed to some degree.
