Have you read the entire thing? It's about comparing them to VCs wives, presumably housewives, not about a special female perspective on, say a female focused startup, but being compared to a female who wants to be in a traditional role in a patriarchal society. Not sure how any one can miss it as badly as you did.
- yummyfajitas 11y agoI read it. She's ranting about something else - a VC suggesting he has no female-founded companies in his portfolio because very few apply - and somehow this offends her. But along the way, she claims that "the extent to which she is founding a company is the extent to which I have something in common with her", which pretty much contradicts the entire pro-diversity narrative.
- jmagoon 11y agoSeems like the part she's pissed at is "I think mothers have more important things to do...be mothers".

- dennisgorelik 11y agoWhat if you have 2 kids? Who should be your #1 priority? In any case, how important children should be for their parents is not the key issue here. The key issue is how you treat your potential investors (preferably with respect).
