Valleywag is a blog devoted to Silicon Valley and tech industry gossip. It was founded in 2006 and is currently hosted by Gawker Media at valleywag.gawker.com .
In some instances, Valleywag spoke out against sexism.
- Venture Capital remains dominated by white men
- Google's sexism
- The new Penthouse Letters: HR Exec Files FriendFinder Suit
- Facebook Backer Wishes Women Couldn't Vote
In others, it perpetuated it.
- Marissa Mayer: Google's Biggest Failure (see also: Marissa Mayer)
- Google Founder Larry Page has impregnanted his model+PhD wife
- Reposting allegations from a neo-Nazi about a feminist culture critic's past personal life
Sometimes it's hard to tell which category an article falls into:
- Microsoft's sex change -- calls out Hiring discrimination and the Glass ceiling, but insensitively refers to a transgendered woman as "he" throughout.
Commentary:
- Misogynist stereotypes on Valleywag - blog post by Liz Henry
- Still sexist in the valley? Marissa shows that to be true. on VW's coverage of Marissa Mayer.
- Women, Tech, and why this needs to change (more on the Mayer article)
