Which is an excellent argument not to discriminate against an individual.
However, what the OP and this thread are discussing is ways of 'fixing' a low percentage of women in startups. Which could be caused by either women on average having a worse skill set for startups or on average having less of a desire to take risky economic decisions.
If these are the causes then there isn't likely to be any way to 'fix' it.
- kaens 16y agoI'm fairly certain that the percentage of women in startups is much lower than can be explained by purely biological means.
- aidenn0 16y agoI bet it can be completely explained by a combination of biological and environmental causes. Just because the claim is made that there are biological differences between men and women does not mean that the disparity of women vs. men in startups is entirely (or even mostly) due to biological causes. If you want more women in startups then you have to either change women or change startups.
- kaens 16y agoI'm really starting to get the impression that people think that I've been arguing that there aren't any biological differences between males and females. I probably should have worded that sentence as "fundamentally different in regards to what they are capable of doing, minus some very obvious physical limitations like childbirth and ejaculation of semen"
