I really don't think you're making a good argument. When a female founder says she's looking for female investors we all know the underlying reasons for that - women in the start-up space face challenges that men don't face and having allies and mentors to navigate those challenges is valuable. If a male founder wants to prioritize male investors that's fine too - but I would be interested to know why they feel that's necessary.
