Thanks for the link! I’ll read it shortly. Update: This seems limited to the idea that some female founders are sexually harassed when fundraising. That’s terrible, but I don’t think this article alone is sufficient to justify saying that “we have all the advantages”. That’s one issue out of potentially many factors of advantage and disadvantage that might each lean in the direction of a different group on average. > You have to bury your head in the sand to not see how many racists have come out of the shadows in the last 6 years. They were there the whole time, making decisions based on race. If you’re willing to provide another link, I am unfortunately not aware of this either, not even rumors of it, so I don’t know where to begin to look. Unless you’re talking about anti-majority racism, in which case I’ve seen tons of it firsthand.
