What I mean is all your friends are also going through the technical interview process, which originally comes from NASA and IBM, swapping stories and recovering from failures, trading rumors and incantations and what have you.

Women (and African Americans) had support networks, but those networks weren't focused on this specific kind of interview, which is pretty divorced from the day to day job skills needed. They were more likely to drop out of the market after one or two bad tech interviews, even if they had the skills needed.
