Jen Schradie Critiques Silicon Valley

BCNM DE Jen Schradie critiques HBO's new show Silicon Valley with her latest blog post, which discusses the first two episodes' lack of female representation. Schradie had the opportunity to film the red carpet release and mingle with the creators of the show on opening night. While she was amused by what she saw, she was also intrigued by where the women were. In particular, she reflected on the show's seeming mockery of widespread sexism, asking "does this satire simply reflect Silicon Valley sexism or contribute to it?"
