"If I had to guess, I'd say Silicon Valley would be among the easiest for women to penetrate"

This is not an opinion grounded in any sort of reality. Attrition for women in technical roles is nearly double that of other industries. In finance, women make up around 20% of corporate boards. Not so in tech. Not by a long shot.

This is Scott Adams saying "hey guys, here's some stuff I think but haven't really tested even a little bit."

For non-regular readers: that's exactly what Scott Adams' blog is about - throwing ideas into the wild and discussing them in the comments. It's a feature, not a bug.

The problems come when people read it without knowing that, and assuming he's advocating for <issue>, while he's more of a "what do you think about this crazy thought?" kind of writer. Check this post[1] (specially the disclaimer) for an example.

That may be so, but I think it's not a little pernicious for someone with standing and reach to say "Hayyyyy, so, I'm sure everything's FINE" when everything is not at all fine. Sloppy and counterproductive.
