Isn't California/Silicon Valley really liberal? You'd think this would be one of the places who are the least sexist.

People tend to rationalize inconsistent behavior when money/power is involved. Just look at what San Francisco, the home of the 60's counterculture movement, has now become.

No, it's not "really liberal." SV especially I'd describe as more libertarian: constrained taxes and marginally socially tolerant with a sprinkling of lip service to liberal social issues.

The rest of California is a little bit liberal in some areas, but mainly in aggregate it's slightly to the left of the American mainstream. Which puts it firmly on the right, in my opinion.

A lot of people in SV today are transplants.
