I respect the writer drawing this conclusion based on a conversation. But can we have the chat from the beginning instead of just a few texts starting from Honestly- I'm the wrong person to ask. I think mothers have more important things to do ... be mothers?
I am not taking the VC's side but let's see the entire chat then form an opinion as the said VC isn't here to defend himself.
- adn 11y agoI believe the authors argument is that the VC's (or at least this particular one) use the antiquated idea that "mothers should be mothers" to subconsciously look down on woman founders who pitch, because they should be at home "being mothers" instead. e: this guy said it better https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11105578 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11105578
- icebraining 11y agoDefend himself? He's not even identified! It's just an example of what the author is talking about, it's not a personal attack. Even if you would interpret it differently, it doesn't really matter, because the subject is not that particular conversation.
- drewrv 11y agoThis guy is literally a father. Why does he believe he can be a father AND a VC, yet women are incapable of being a mother AND a founder? Then he uses his wife as an example to extrapolate the desires of half the world population. He's absurd.
