Everyone saying "SV isn't worse than X" is missing the point of the article. Yes, we know plenty of industries are more awful. The point is that SV talks a big game when it comes to taking care of workers (high pay, perks, unlimited vacation), but doesn't always walk the walk when it comes to improving the treatment of female or minority workers. Relevant quote: > That the tech industry would prove so hostile to women is more than a little counterintuitive. Silicon Valley is populated with progressive, hyper-educated people who talk a lot about making the world better. It’s also a young field, with none of the history of, say, law or medicine, where women were long denied spots in graduate schools intended for “breadwinning men.”
