Still has little to do with gender bias. The investors are there for the money. I've seen companies keep known alcoholics around because they provide enough value for said company to deal with it.
The issue isn't that it happened, it's attributing it to simple gender bias. It's dishonest.
- steveklabnik 12y agoNobody is claiming that it's cause is simply bias. It's a particular instance of the general structural issues women face.
- mreiland 12y agomen face the exact same issues. It's akin to women complaining that they have to purchase gasoline in order to make it to work daily. So do men, why is that something the women are rallying around?
- steveklabnik 12y agoIf men and women face the same issues, and women are working towards fixing those issues, I'm not sure why you're so upset. Isn't that positive?
- mreiland 12y agoI think the travesty is how quickly you choose to mis-characterize me as being upset for no other reason than the idea that I disagree with you. Can we be more honest than that?
