It's fantastic that we are seeing the selective exposure of sexism in the work place. I admire these people for having the courage to come out, especially given that some very high profile cases of sexism seem to be ignored by almost all of the mainstream media (MSM).

As an example, I heard that Yahoo dismissed the majority of their senior male staff, unfairly. The Verge, Vox, The Daily Beast and a host of others didn't report on this. The link below isn't the best reference, but it's one of the few I could find. http://www.gamespot.com/forums/offtopic-discussion-314159273...

I also remembered that Ars Technica gave it some limited and underwhelming exposure.

This should be compared to Ars' coverage of Ellen Pao, not just in the number of articles but also the language used between the two articles.

It makes me wonder if some sex discrimination is condoned by the MSM.
