The Valley's Toxic Brotherhood

Silicon Valley's gender problem exploded into public consciousness in 2017 when Susan Fowler's blog post exposed rampant sexual harassment at Uber. This watershed moment revealed what women in tech had known for decades: beneath the industry's meritocratic promises lay a deeply entrenched boys' club. Emily Chang's "Brotopia" arrived at this pivotal moment, documenting how an industry built on disruption had reinforced society's oldest biases. The book's impact was immediate and far-reaching-Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff purchased copies for his entire leadership team, and it became required reading across tech boardrooms. What makes Silicon Valley's gender imbalance particularly tragic is that it represents one of history's great professional reversals. The tech industry wasn't always dominated by men. In fact, the first programmers were women. The transformation from female-friendly field to male-dominated industry didn't happen by accident-it was engineered through deliberate choices that continue to shape tech culture today.
