I think that's bullshit. Rich people are not allowed to date anymore? Actually there was recently a study that showed that upward mobility has severely decreased because fewer women are marrying richer men (used to be a major way to become richer). So this is yet another example of feminism harming women.
By "protecting" the supposed victims of powerful men you deprive women of the option to date powerful men. And what if a student is interested in dating a professor?
Running a startup is not such a dire situation that it forces you to become a sex slave.
Edit: in reply to the comment below: The corollary of the statistic is that men don't have a lot of upward mobility. So often the unspoken assumptions that go along with feminism are simply wrong. Being able to marry upwards is a "privilege" of women mostly. It doesn't imply that they can not try other routes like everybody else.
YC doesn't allow me to comment further atm, so good bye.
- jeffbush 11y agoI think the point of feminism is that women should have upward mobility through their own merit, sorta like men... The pool of female founders is already incredibly tiny. Asking VCs not to proposition women who are pitching them won't mean they are unable to date.
