Nothing really surprising here though. Tech (and the world) has always had a problem with sexism. Uber is particularly egregious but given the long history of quotes from the CEO is it any surprise that this is their culture? Writing was on the wall the whole time.
Just to add something to the torrent of links already in these comments http://observer.com/2016/02/ubers-10-worst-actions-threats-lies-sexism-shady-business-deals/ http://observer.com/2016/02/ubers-10-worst-actions-threats-l....

Tech may have a problem with representation, but there's a very big difference between something as overt as this, and, for instance, not being able to find candidates from diverse backgrounds. We should never lump the two together. I guess it's not surprising that this happened at Uber, though.
