I have never witnessed sexual harassment in any company I've worked at, but I have few doubts that it exists. While I mock the silly corporate training videos, I completely understand why they exist.
Every person who changes their view has an opportunity to change somebody else's by talking about it. Holding mysoginistic practices up to the light is the best way to dispel them (like so many other vile habits in society), so I disagree with you that it isn't useful.
People in technology want to believe that it is a wonderful world where your capabilities determine everything about your success, to the point that egos get wrapped up around it. Calling BS, that the tech world isn't a pure meritocracy, seems to cause people to question whether their current position is truly justified, and that seems to hurt some people's egos. Personally, I think those egos need to get trodden on.
