Boys clubbers at Google are just like boys clubbers everywhere... even though, they KNOW they tolerate or even encourage misogyny and sexism they do nothing pro active to correct the massive problems until people protest publicly?!!! Internal "solutions" languish in a swamp of apathy. Until the matter becomes public knowledge. And then they expect to be patted on the back as good guys who "ooops!" just didn't do the right thing when they should have ... YEARS ago! What a bunch of phony hypocrites who lack the courage of their "coolness".
