First, don't believe everything you read. I'm willing to bet the majority of devs in the SF startup seen are relatively quiet, very overworked, and not overly political (unless, say, trying to pick up a member of the preferred gender). Second, it's not like you're going to have a vegan feminist drum-circle (to use your own caricature) pounding away in your coworking space while you're trying to get work done. I wouldn't worry about that. Third, your self-description should be able to fit in perfectly. Again, regardless of what it might seem like on the internet, there aren't roving bands of evil liberals looking to go all Clockwork Orange on you if you're at a Starbucks listening to a Glenn Beck podcast or whatever. Most people just don't give a shit. Fourth, please reconsider posting like this. You paint with a really wide brush, and not only does it make you seem like an internet right-winger (which may not actually be true), it also reeks of ignorance of getting along with other people and being open-minded and excited to meet cultures outside of your comfort zone. Lastly, if you want to visit a place with real diversity and make that money stretch (seriously, that's like 3 months rent here), check out Houston. Or Austin. Or Dallas.
