From a closed-forum reply to this link about casual misogyny and othering in the tech community:

"Why. WHY does this ALWAYS happen in CS courses??

In college my data structures professor used pictures of the following to examplify members of the class "Object", over and over again throughout the course:

A Lamborghini Diablo

A mug full of beer

A flat screen TV

Salma Hayek

(By the way, when I was majoring in computer science at a historically women's college? None of my professors used such examples. Just sayin'.)

That's true, but yes, some overlap indeed. (Sexist jokes on their own get less "but if I can't sexually display whenever the urge strikes, I will never get laid and the human race will die out!" for one. Sigh.)
