I'm a woman in tech who has only been on the periphery of the Valley (mostly working out of Singapore, Indonesia, Myanmar, etc).

The sexism is everywhere. However, the brogrammer culture which has made an art of condescending to women PLUS all that PUA bs, is quite specific to SV and may even be an SV export (when I have seen it outside SV, it tends to a derivative).

In some other places they just treat women like shit outright without writing long articles about it :) (Like the founder who told me he was going to have a wet dream about me, after I kicked him out of a startup competition he sucked at.)
