The sexism is lamentable but understandable, given the dominance of males in engineering (although I thought females were better represented in software). The xenophobia is harder to get, though. Isn't the high-tech industry full of foreign-born engineers? Shouldn't these people be used to dealing with others who have accents different from their own?

When Gawker's standard for female tech entrepreneurial empowerment is Julia Allison, why would you expect anything else?
