I really don't think that equality in genders means that 50% of YC applicants (or any particular career choice) should be women (or men).
"I want a Y Combinator for women" is an incredibly ignorant comment. First, it suggests that YC somehow is not suited to women which is insulting to both parties. Secondly it is suggesting that a woman only YC is a step forward - I see it as a leap backwards.
And then she goes to speak for women everywhere with statements like
"Y Combinator participants are for the most part very young — in their early 20’s. This is not when women would be most inclined. Women who start businesses like to know what they’re doing, and be trained and experienced in it.".
That is so ridiculous I feel ignorant for responding to this post.
