Amid frequent criticism that male-dominated Silicon Valley tech companies aren’t doing enough to promote gender diversity, a former Yahoo employee has a different complaint. Gregory Anderson, who ran Yahoo’s autos, homes, shopping, small business and travel sites, says he was fired because he’s a man. In a lawsuit filed Monday in San Jose federal court, Anderson claims he and other male employees were treated more harshly than their female counterparts, and that the company sought out women at the expense of qualified men.
