As a girlgeek, it frustrates me to see another article where women geeks get such a cursory mention. Comments like "// warning: works best without a girlfriend" and "Many Silicon Valley execs =marry= their good-looking, modern career-gal publicists" serve to emphasis the fact that the bulk of the women in the article are refered to by stereotypes ("Kelli the surfer-girl/marketing manager") or as sex industry workers. I accept the point that men outnumber women in Silicon Valley, but women outnumber men on the planet. Does that mean we should only be writing articles about women's sexuality?

It's demeaning to both the female and male readers of Slashdot that articles like this one generates so little protest.
