But some women in tech are choosing to do the opposite, opting instead to, lean out to work and create. One of those is Shanley Kane, who along with Amelia Greenhall, left the mainstream tech industry last year to found Model View Culture, a media company providing writing about technology, culture and diversity with a site as crisp and clean as the prose it contains.

Amelia Greenhall and Shanley Kane, technologists and writers, started Model View Culture, a publication about technology, culture and diversity, in which Ms. Kane recently wrote about how myths of tech culture work to “exclude and marginalize minorities.”

Fortunately, we have powerful publications and women shining a bright light onto this murky world. The magazine Model View Culture has been doing a stellar job of highlighting discrimination of all forms that exist in technology. Shanley Kane, Ashe Dryden, Nitasha Tiku, Kara Swisher and Alexia Tsotsis have been consistently highlighting people who perpetuate discriminatory culture.

I’ve known Shanley Kane, the prominent Silicon Valley feminist, writer and publisher for a little while—first through her writing, and then through close friends we have in common. And I’ve always admired her: The subjects she talks about are important, she is dedicated to them with an admirable ferocity—and she can be wickedly funny. At the same time, her approach is unflinching, and her arguments are full-throttle, which often makes her the center of controversy.

But there was another Shanley Kane. That one runs a publication called Model View Culture, which has published good writing about the culture of Silicon Valley. In interviews Kane could be surprisingly intelligent. She had feminist rhetoric down, the stuff about erasure and marginalization.

We’re making progress, whether it’s women like Adi Tartako who grew Houzz to a multi-billion dollar business, Tracy Chou who has moved up the engineering ranks of some of the Valley’s best companies, Gina Bianchini who isn’t afraid of failure or women like Amelia Greenhall and Shanley Kane, the co-founders of Model View Culture, who rightly decided there needed to be a whole publication dedicated to the systematic marginalization of certain groups in tech.
