I'm sure you didn't mean it but your post comes across as entitled.
YC has no obligation to share stats and just because you disagree with the methodology doesn't make them unethical.
- staunch 12y agoI'm just sharing my opinion. I don't mean it to be a grand condemnation or a big deal. I hardly feel entitled. When otherwise good organizations misbehave I feel free to point it out. I don't complain about getting downvoted when people disagree. The fact is that this stat is provably misleading. People are understanding, and reporting it as, "25% of YC founders are female" when the reality is very different. YC knows about this and yet continues to use it. I think it's an understandable and small lapse in ethics predictably justified by some weak rationalization.
- unclesaamm 12y agoLikewise, just because you disagree with the parent poster's interpretation doesn't make them "entitled". Just as YC has no obligation to share stats, the parent has no obligation to not have an ethical opinion about that, or to share it.
