#2I expect that a majority of people would be very uncomfortable at one of these work-related parties. Beyond the man/woman power asymmetry there are a lot of other groups of people that would exclude themselves from these events, but that may be the point.

#3Not shocking at all - follows a pattern we've seen before on wallstreet and anywhere else men think they're amazing cuz they're rich. It's just cute that SV has the lifestyle choice spin on it.

#7I'm trying to imagine a cringier situation than a druggy sex party full of industry people. Try chilling with artists, musicians, chefs, teachers, dog walkers, anything but tech people. The mutual discovery of each other's worlds is really hot, and it minimizes the chance of ever being in a work meeting with someone where we need to pretend we haven't seen each other naked.

#8“I see a lot of men leading people on, sleeping with a dozen women at the same time. But if each of the dozen women doesn’t care, is there any crime committed? You could say it’s disgusting but not illegal—it just perpetuates a culture that keeps women down.”
How does it keep women down? Sleeping with a guy is a built in option women have to better their lives, that men don't have.
Otherwise they're just like the rest of us poor schmuck dudes that actually have to go into work everyday.
I'm so confused about what women expect these days.

#10I think there is a certain amount of denial about male sexuality. It's like trying to change the fundamental personality traits of a child: it won't work and will probably result in someone who is antisocial or otherwise crazy.
I don't know why we can't have a discussion about this. Possibly feminism is caught up in a narrative that is overly female-centric, which isn't really unexpected (or entirely unreasonable). But just as feminism is reactionary to abuse by males, there are going to be reactionary elements to the desire of some feminists to suppress men in general.
If you think that isn't true, do a google images search for "feminist tshirts", the sixth one is a woman kneeing a man in the testicles. A simple image search on feminism points out just how much anger there is on all sides of the argument.
