As a woman VC should I not be allowed to be grossed out without you questioning my gender?

  No adult should get grossed out at a breast pump. Certainly no adult in such a position of responsibility that they're considering funding such a product. I am assuming the investors in question were men, but that's really not all that important to the point I'm making.

    Yup - I totally agree with your point. It has been entertaining watching the points on my comment slide up and down between positive and negative territory. As you can imagine, "men" and "women" are heavy descriptors. Heck, I can imagine someone taking issue with "grown".

      Yeah, it's fun and weird to watch what gets downvoted. I wanted to make my comment gender-neutral, but I couldn't come up with a phrase with the same nice sound as "grown men," and sounding good won out. The perils of internet comments....
