"89 percent of California companies that got crucial seed funding were founded by men. What percentage were all-female founding teams? Just three percent."
Sure, but what was the prior distribution of teams seeking funding? If only 1% of the teams seeking funding were all-female then it could show a bias in favor of women. I doubt that is actually the case, but just showing a skewed distribution doesn't prove sexism. I could make a similar case to the race issue. I don't know how to interpret the last graph, but it does appear to show some genuine bad news for African Americans. How to fix it? I don't know. Infographics might not be helping a whole lot, but if there is a serious issue that they are raising awareness towards then it's a good thing. If they're crying wolf for a non-issue then it's a bad thing. I suppose it's up to the individual to decide for themselves, but I hope they are more thorough in researching than just looking at three infographics.
