My beef is with the mentality that often goes along with money. For some reasons, people making a lot or handling a lot of money often act superior - above the law, above the rest of society, and basically above anyone else who is not in their "echelon". And since most companies, esp finance and tech are largely run by men, it ends up promoting power and dominance over others - especially women they desire. You can look at the current state of global wealth and politics to see the superiority complex and the above-the-law behavior. So when dotcom happened, and when it had its resurgence in the Google era, this bro-culture developed partly due to the money and exclusivity that went with being a west coast "engineer". As for Dutch behavior in the office, it's definitely more entertaining and amusing. But I would not want to be an attractive AND brainy woman in fintech. Their actual achievements would be inseparable from their looks, perhaps in the way that a decent rich person has difficulty knowing if the friends circling around are friends for good reasons or for potential financial benefits.
