I am really surprised that none has actually read the transcript. Here is a quote from the next question in the transcript: Eric: What you’re saying is that they’re not out there to be found? Paul: I don’t think so. I don’t think so. It is changing a bit because it’s no longer so critical to be a hacker So PG's views are actually exactly that - in general no suitable female startup founders exist in the world. That isn't bad per se as an opinion, or makes him misogynist, I'm just surprised how people that have a positive outlook of someone can defend them even in a clearly wrong situation. Btw I'm not affiliated with that news website in any way, just couldn't bare to see a community - that is normally so ornithological - go crazy over defending someone who doesn't deserve it.

So PG's views are actually exactly that - in general no suitable female startup founders exist in the world. That's not what pg is saying at all. Eric's question wasn't if female founders can be found. Eric is asking if there are non-hackers out there, just waiting to be found, so they can start the next Facebook. pg is saying you can't just go out and find non-hackers and turn them into the next Mark Zuckerberg. On a side note, I think the transcript is poorly transcribed. Many sentences are missing keywords allowing sentences to be easily interpreted in different ways.
