Sexism in the Valley
summary
Panel lays out concrete levers: push companies to pay a real price for harassment, ban or limit non-disclosure agreements (bills in New York and California), add harassment/diversity/pay-parity checks to investor due diligence, and build shared databases so multiple women can come forward anonymously. Notes that press attention made Uber fall but Ellen Pao’s case didn’t stick because of narrative vulnerabilities. Offers an apology checklist (state the wrong, what you’ll change, reparations) and cites 42 percent women attendees and 35 percent women speakers at Web Summit.
