One of the points in PG's essay is that the story told there is bogus. It was supposed to be a story about Jessica as one of the most knowledgeable investors in SV. It got turned into something about sexism over a non-event, as far as she was concerned.
- wpietri 11y agoImportant tip for dealing with journalists: they aren't there to write your story. They'll be writing their story. And what that story is has a lot more to do with what they and their readers find interesting than what you want readers to know. In particular, that piece came out at a time where the general public was discovering that women in tech get a heap of bullshit that men in tech mainly don't. I'm surprised that she was surprised that telling a story like that got attention; it seems like an obvious thing for a PR person to have prepped her for.
