I thought the point of the original TC article was that we should stop pandering to women and it's jus a fact of life that a majority don't want to do startups.

I thought the point of the original TC article was that we should stop pandering to women and it's jus a fact of life that a majority don't want to do startups. That's fine and it's not knocking women. I can see how the thing about babies could have confused people into missing that point though.
I really think you don't see many women doing it because there aren't a whole lot trying to. When you've got an applicant pool that's already a minority and you know that a good portion of any applicant pool won't get a particular job then it's not at all surprising to see that not many women get into startups. If there aren't many trying to start and a good portion won't make it to the finish line then this isn't surprising. I think it's more wrong to try to find minority candidates for the sake of finding minority candidates. Let the cream rise and if it doesn't consist of minorities then it's not our fault.
