Can you spot the irony in this statement?
Irony would only exist if I made a sweeping comment about all women being better as entrepreneurs, which I assure you, I did not make.
You see, you resent the implication that women don't do startups. Your girlfriend doesn't do startups and doesn't have the inclination to do them. You are using her as an example (albeit a poor one) of why that implication is false.
I'll start by dispelling a simple one:
Better half doesn't necessarily equate to girlfriend.
Furthermore, the condescending tone and verbiage used in the reply is nothing more than inflammatory. I would disservice myself to continue responding past this point.
The original post was talking about girlfriends, so contextually it sounded like you meant girlfriend by "better half". You're a terrible spokesman for ending sexism as you seem to replace one form of ignorance for another combined with hypersensitivity (having said that, yes the original "joke" was a lame one).
Is that irony? (I've always had a hard time with that question)
