- Institutional rejection to sexist comments and overall consciousness about gender issues. (This might imply talks about gender and sexism). - Presence of women and/or sexual minorities because of their abilities and not because of their gender. Many institutions might have sexual minorities for something aesthetical or by law. - Not making a big deal about women in tech. If it is a big deal, then there is probably a differentiated behavior with women.
