It sounds like the senior guys didn't take her complaints very seriously because she had been in a relationship with the guy. It was only when another woman complained about the same guy that they got rid of him.

It also sounds like the firm is controlled by men who tend to favor men for promotions and compensation.

Ultimately I think lawsuits like this are what will move the industry forward. It forces complacent old powerful men to take young women seriously.

Hopefully she gets paid for her trouble and KPCB significantly improves their environment for women.
