  Those tweets look like they are taking events massively out of context and adding assumptions. I could see someone asking someone else to watch their kids. That happens often in real life if someone is genuinely warm person and is usually a joke/compliment. The second one I 100% doubt it went that way. There is no way a VC would ever say to someone "hey can you find a white male to replace you as ceo of your company? thanks!". That is some serious r/thatHappened material. Given the rest of Adora's tweets she comes off as extremely focused/biased towards women's issue and harassment. I don't know her but I wouldn't be surprised if she embellished events to fit her agenda.

    I know I don't have all the information, but just on first glance-- I think it's pretty inappropriate for a VC to ask an entrepreneur who is at demo day (presumably pitching) to babysit their kids, unless they had known each other for many months as friends, which seems very unlikely given the context.

      It could be ok in context. Maybe it wasn't. But just commenting that you think someone is good with kids shouldn't be offensive. If the VC literally wanted the demoer to watch their kids then sure that's not ok.
