- Infinitesimus 12y agoCare to provide some form of reasoning for that?
- falcolas 12y agoI'm not the OP, but here's my interpretation: 1) The woman is the cream in your typical Oreo display of "diversity". 2) The men are in business casual attire (i.e. a button down shirts/polos), the woman is wearing a fair amount of makeup and jewelry, and what appears to be a dress blouse. Could be easily explained away as this particular founder's usual method of dress (or the nature of her business), but it's a notable exception in the three photos. 3) They couldn't have picked someone who qualified as an "immigrant" who looked more stereotypically "native". This is not directly related to the sexism argument, but as a result she seems to have been carefully picked to fit in the image and give a point of reference.
- m_t 12y agoRegarding the 2), after checking her company website, I'd say this is her business attire: http://www.rubymakeupacademy.com/images/inc500_2.jpg http://www.rubymakeupacademy.com/images/inc500_2.jpg
- viksit 12y agoIt does appear that she might have submitted this picture for professional publication and at which point, I'm sure the magazine would have to honor it.

- viksit 12y agoWow, down-votes for calling out potential sexism? Anyway - yes, the reason I made that comment was that the female founder's attire seemed inconsistent with what is generally considered to be business casual, which is what the other two male entrepreneurs in the picture are wearing. While it may be so that in her line of work her style of dressing is commonplace - for a professional article such as this, the authors could have done better in deliberately avoiding a picture like that. Just my 2c.
