  > “Girl” was one of those boxes, and he lost a killer co-founder because he couldn’t let her win. in all fairness, these same alpha male-types do the same thing to men they perceive as non-threats. most of them have no problem pigeonholing men they deem weakly inferior into the same category as "useless slut." the best way to deal with them? emasculate them in every which way right from the beginning.

  > Women represent less than ten percent of venture capitalists, according to the Kauffman Foundation. Per Pitchbook, only 13 percent of first-half 2013 venture investments went to women.
