I agree that this was an example of a transactional communication, where one party was looking for business connections and the other party was looking for sex.

I agree that this was an example of a transactional communication, where one party was looking for business connections and the other party was looking for sex. I don't consider it a problem– she very quickly discovered this guy had zero interest in helping her without using her. So she blocked him, which was the obvious next step. Posting the conversation publicly? Her prerogative. Like he said: he didn't break any laws and he doesn't think communicating with people this way and having that become public will cause damage to him. Does that mean there's an institutional bias against girls becoming entrepreneurs? Or lesbians becoming entrepreneurs? Or 18-year-olds becoming entrepreneurs? If there is, this situation isn't an example of it. It's just an example of a guy who took a message from a young nobody on the off chance he could score.
