Or you aren't someone that woman deem as safe to talk to about this.
Sexual harassment and sexual violence happen all over the world and in every industry. Just think about how many people react when they hear something like this and that will make it clear why the victims often don't talk to anyone (or only a few people they see as safe) about this.
Or I’m responsible for the women on my team and don’t tolerate a culture of anything less than professional
If you never saw something anywhere close to this and you've NEVER been told something like this by a friend the chances are pretty high that they just never told you.
Sure that depends on what exactly you mean by "anything close to this", but when you look up sexual harrasment statistics it's pretty much impossible.
Also there is the possibility that you read those situations very differently, as you said some people are blind to it so you should consider the possibility that you are blind to it yourself.
Chances are much better that I just don’t work in tech
