Wow these articles really show how far the hacker community is oblivious to the effects of this kind of thing on their work. The whole point is that startups are leaving themselves up to litigation and even worse (from the company perspective) is that they will find it hard to attract female programmers and potentially female customers. I work in a male-dominated field and we're one of the few companies that employ females as skilled labour, some of the feedback i received from a 360 degree review was that some of the women felt excluded by some of the conversations that some of the male crew were having. I cant even imagine how going to a place like this for a work gathering would make them feel.
