In case you (the reader of this comment) are interested in what kind of person it is that races to articles to post this tidbit, try taking a dive through his comment history. > hashberry 235 days ago | link | parent | on: My children’s book on technology raised 100k withi... > The presentation and video was amazing. I immediately fell in love with her. She smiles non-stop. She jumps around with giddy excitement in a cute little dress. She's the perfect manic pixie dream girl trope. I want her to have all my babies. I know hashberry's too far gone to change his mind, but to anyone else reading, if you're hearing about Anita for the first time and are on the fence about what's going on, realize that there is an army of sexists who swarm to all women-in-tech articles to push the same talking points over and over.

  Shaming male hetrosexuality is Feminism 101. Yes, I am attracted to young, maternal, intelligent women who like to smile.

    There's nothing wrong with what you're attracted to. What's wrong is that you seem to think that commenting on your attraction to the female in the video is a worthwhile comment on the video. The video might have actual content, you know? It might be less sexist of you to actually pay some attention to the content, rather than to your attraction to the presenter?

I keep seeing her getting criticized for this and I don't get it. She didn't ask for that much, it just happened.

  I don't think it's so much criticized for this, as people appealing to authority - witness upstream, where someone says 'you have to admit, there's a lot of leg work done, the videos look impressive' - which says nothing about the content or message - to which someone says "well, yes, but this isn't about 'how professional a video series can you produce given $160,000+?'.
