Famous venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale, who built the CIA’s spy software, is under investigation for date raping his intern. Newsweek did a cover story about Silicon Valley’s rampant abuse of women. A number of articles have commented about the “only interns getting jobs on Sandhill Road are large breasted women who look like models”. Valleywag has been tearing into Silicon Valley misogyny, on a regular basis. The source of the abused interns: Stanford University, which sits at the base of Sandhill Road, is being charged with covering up Fraternity House “rape squads”. Ellen Pao sued Sandhill Road’s Kleiner Perkins for creating a sexually compromised business structure. Type: “Silicon Valley Misogyny” into any web browser and the results are amazing. The movie: The Social Network revealed the Stanford Frat House “Bang Buses”, which deliver hordes of naïve young co-eds to the Stanford fraternity houses for a “bit of fun” and date rape.
Almost every Silicon Valley VC has a divorce proceeding in which the ex-wife described his behavior as abusive. One tech head was videotaped beating his lady in the face for over a half hour, because she had failed to do what he said.
The venture capitalists all have their offices, in a line, at the top of Sandhill Road., also known as “the shaft”. The male venture capitalists named Sandhill Road: “The Shaft” because they say, “Palo Alto is the sack where all of the juice gets created and we are the shaft that squirts it out the tip”.
They think rather highly of themselves. This is the root of the problem.
Almost every guy on Sandhill Road is, well, a guy. Women don’t get in except as a bit of eye candy.
They almost all went to elitist fraternities where they were trained that the law does not apply to them, and that they are better than everyone else is. The few who did not are H1-B Indians who made it through the gauntlet and grabbed a tiny Asian interest in Silicon Valley. They are from India, though, the land that commoditized gang-rape, treats women like dogs and holds one of the rape records of the world.
So the Silicon Valley VC’s are trained, programmed, and peer-pressured to rape from the day they enter college.
Nobody tells them “NO” and every one of them supports the other in the cover-ups, instigations and pressure tactics on the young women.
The VC’s recently got the Rosewood Hotel built, on Sandhill Road, so they had a place to take their interns for mid-day sex.
These men use their wealth to buy Oxytocin mood manipulation sprays, 150 proof tequila, ecstasy drugs, “Roofies”, MDMA-turbo, and other high tech date rape chemistry. They make the women feel less than their value by showing them impossibly expensive private jets, cars and restaurants and then saying that “it can all be” theirs, too if they “play along”.
With a big donation to the Stanford Alumni Association, controversy can be made to disappear. No Stanford Administrator is going to bite the hand that feeds them.
Young, nubile girls arrive from Detroit, Denver, Kansas and Key West. Their eyes are big and their hopes are wide. Then they get Bill Cosby’d by the slick VC who offers to “help them”. Sure, he will “take a look at your business plan”. “Hey, are you getting hungry? Let’s talk about it over dinner?”
“Here have some more of this Whiskey Sour”.
When she awakens the next morning, she does not know where she is or which pain is worse: the ones down below or the one inside her soul.
Who are these guys? Set your GPS to 3000 Sand Hill Road in Palo Alto, California. Start there and head down the hill. On one side of the road is the Stanford Linear Accelerator; on the other side of the road is a nightmare of sexual coercion, date rape and innocence lost.
These are the men who are famous for hiring more prostitutes than any other region in America. A famous call girl, when asked why the men hire them, explained it well. “They don’t hire us for sex. They hire us to leave afterwards. They pay us to abuse, and control us, and then dismiss us right after, because it makes them feel powerful.”
The TV Show: “Silicon Valley”, has begun to peel away the dark souls of these Sandhill Road men but it has only scratched the surface. Now, the interns of Silicon Valley are fighting back. Groups of women who were date raped, sexually coerced and confronted by threats of career sabotage, the favorite ploy of these VC’s, are writing books, filing lawsuits, making blogs and writing articles.
The women are not taking it lying down anymore. Together they have found the power to face these elitist males, and put them on their backs!
