This morning’s article on sfgate.com regarding inequality at the top in Silicon Valley is not news, just a reminder of the status quo. I found it interesting because my current company is called out in the Hall of Shame.
Reading through the comments is particularly enlightening, as the “reasons” readers give belie attitudes so dismissive and deeply ingrained that they explain the obstacles women face in the Valley more clearly than the article does.
Babies, family, lack of intestinal fortitude, lack of abilities, lack of interest, “sensitivity”…my, aren’t we just a bunch of delicate flowers?
If you’ll excuse me now, I’m off to breed, bake cakes in a wispy frock, and weep over how hard math and science are for my tiny mind to understand.
