'What did you expect?' Women in tech reflect on Ellen Pao's exit from Reddit

Leading women in the tech industry say the Reddit CEO's resignation shows Silicon Valley still has a woman problem but some feel attitudes are changing fast

It is 2015 and for many working in tech, it is still not a good time to be a woman.

Just ask Ellen Pao, who resigned as interim CEO of Reddit last week, after being subjected to abuse from the site's members. Or ask other women in the industry who have had similar experiences. These women are not surprised by what has happened to Pao - the abuse, the resignation, the lack of support from her company - in fact, many of them have anticipated it. Yet despite that, they are undeterred and hope that one day down the road, maybe as soon as 2020, women and men could be treated as equal in Silicon Valley.
