Nick Denton at Valleywag writes a freakishly misogynistic profile of Sandy Montenegro Littlefield, a former exec at Siebel and Oracle who married a rich tank collector:
She used to go to tech conferences in search of husband material, say the cynics. She’d arrive on her own and return on someone’s private jet. She is absolutely gorgeous in person, but I don’t think it took people too long to figure out she was a gold-digger.
Blogger Liz Henry points out the myriad layers of fucked-upness about this post, and then says:
Waaah! Women in tech are toooooo sexay! That sucks! It ruins our whole homosocial male bonding geek guy thing! Get them out! Or, quick, give Sandy a reverse makeover, a pair of glasses with electrical tape on the nosepiece, and some penny loafers!
Everyone needs to keep in mind that when women, sluts or not, sleep with geek guys, it might just be because they like geek guys a lot. Sleeping with geek guys doesn’t invalidate one’s geek credentials. It’s not like they have to be *rich* geek guys and the women have to be brainless bimbos going after their money. Trust me, geek guys, you are often super cute all on your own.
My favorite part of the Valleywag post is the weird attribution to “the cynics.”
