Try biting the hand that feeds you. She woudln't get one cent of VC funding without 'former facebook employee' in her proposal. But that's just arrogance for you. Again if she was attractive she would have gotten the male attention she felt she was denied.</p> uhhh Ok Pavani..’a few concerns’? Try biting the hand that feeds you.

This post isn't about how anyone looks. I also didn't get the sense that she was "crying about" anything or complaining a lot either. She paints a mostly positive picture of her time at Facebook with a few concerns that suggest the reality of being the first and then one of a few female engineers at FB.</p> Way to derail, James.

No. that would actually be a worthy cause to cry about. If women have problems with the “all boys” network why don’t they get the same advice that racial minorities get when they make similar complaints: start your own thing.

Because society tells men they have to be indestructible titanium nuggets that can withstand any onslaught of emotion, or external force.

Yeah…that’s really what this post said…because Sanghvi is some illiterate peasant girl in a village somewhere crying about how she was never allowed to learn to read, right?

Not sure, let’s check out her profile on Shaadi.com. Then if we discover she’s ever socialized freely with a male, we can call her out for being a whiny little slut who doesn’t know her place.

“I am not part of the camaraderie that females feel when amongst themselves.” The irony is, that really doesn’t exist. They all, for the most part, hate each other, especially in a technical work-setting when there are men to impress, none of them want to be seen as a threat.

If you’re a male, then naturally you wouldn’t feel gender-camaraderie with women. If you’re a woman and genuinely think all women all hate each other, then it’s probably to internally justify why no one likes you.

Her complaints are kind of rich, coming from a spoiled kid born with a silver spoon in her mouth,

The article says she “didn’t regularly use a computer until her freshman year of college”. Sounds like she was really rollin’ in rubies back in India…

Anyway, the article isn’t bad, but I wonder why we never see the opposite: what about men working in primarily female-dominated professions like Nursing, K-12 Education, etc? I have a good (male) friend who is a 2nd grade teacher and has described the sexism he’s felt from his overwhelmingly female colleagues. It would be nice to see the perspective from both sides of the fence.
