as a female hacker, especially after the objectification of women in the Social Network, this hits close to home even as it's satire.
I prefer not to take money for my startup at all, but I definitely won't be taking any from a (douche)bag.
- spang 16y agoyeah, seriously-I'm in the same boat, and this kind of humour in the startup world is just a disgusting turnoff.
- _corbett 16y agothanks, glad I'm not alone :-).
- _corbett 16y agoRT @sacca @corbett_inc Totally fair point. To the people downvoting this comment: The whole culture of booth babes and strippers really does put people off, and it happens at a lot of trade shows etc. Literally any time one brings up a problem one gets downvoted in these communities. It's like I have to be silent. I didn't say it wasn't funny (although I may have thought that). If I had an autistic son, I might even (though probably not) think some autism jokes were funny but I'd still be able to say one hit close to home or maybe gasp have a due or undue sensitivity to it. Anyway, not judging those 89 people who had a laugh just bringing up the deeper issue.
- fedd 16y agoagree about the role of women in the Social Network but in this situation no-one said that strippers that came with Yuri were female! ;)
