Tech Industry Press Is Complicit in Keeping Women on Industry Sidelines
- joejohnson 15y agoMinor nitpick: there are numerous grammatical errors with missing punctuation. This makes the article hard to read... and she loses a little bit of credibility, especially when she's a "professional blogger".
- alain94040 15y agoNot convinced by the article, I didn't see any facts or data. "Complicit" is a loaded word that should be backed up with evidence.
- olalonde 15y agoFunny, I was under the impression that female founders were overrepresented in tech news. Apart from some anecdotal evidence, I don't think the author makes a very convincing case of the opposite. That being said, it would be interesting to compare the ratio of successful female entrepreneurs versus the ratio of press coverage they get.
- benologist 15y agoThis really feels like Forbes is just trolling for rebuttals from tech blogs. It starts off quite well, highlighting that these sites are just pandering to investors or writing for pageviews, or in some cases both cough. Somehow after labeling these blogs as mouth pieces for the investment community they declare that these blogs are sexist for not writing enough about women. The obvious conclusion there is not enough women are being invested in. Presumably like with men "enough" is some small percent of those who bother seeking investment at all. TechCrunch is an especially poor example I think - woman CEO, women reporters, just last week a piece on women in YC's latest round written by a woman.
