&gt; I was the third man in a room full of women. I certainly felt intimidated. I could totally relate then to the position of every woman in a male dominated industry.<p>No, he truly can&#x27;t, being a woman in a room full of men is not the same as being a man in a room full of women. There are a lot of reasons why being the lone woman feels vastly more intimidating.<p>&gt; Feminism appeals to women who seek authority, power and money. There is nothing wrong with that. But not all women want that!<p>His entire assumption of feminism is just wrong, there are varying waves of feminism that have transformed it over time; not all feminists subscribe to the same ideology. This author needs to read up on what feminism actually is. Even the right to just want to be a stay-at-home mom is upheld by most feminist values. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Feminism" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Feminism</a><p>What exactly is &quot;the one thing&quot; that they (silicon valley) got wrong? Article just rambles about how feminism is &quot;wrong.&quot;<p>This article makes me want to read this book, but perhaps its just a ploy to... sell more books?
