Fewer women studying CS is a problem SV should care about, not an excuse.

  If SV is actually a great place for women to work, then front-page stories about it being awful isn't going to help increase the number of female CS students.

    If truthful news reports make SV look bad, the problem ain't the news media.

      News can be both truthful and misleading. The frequency and tone of this type of article is completely disproportional to reality. There are definitely problems in how women are treated in tech, just as there are in every other field with similar demographics that comes to mind. Those problems need to be addressed. The title of this article is "Why is Silicon Valley So Awful to Women?", though. "Awful". Do you really believe that it's "awful", particularly relative to all other professions?

        Yes, I really believe it's awful and I don't think other professions are relevant in making that call.
