Ah, so apparently guys are still good enough to hire. Interesting. Care to share your experiences on what it was like to work there?

While I was there, we were building a social network for women, something between Path and Facebook where they could share their day-to-day with their closest friends. The rating thing was sort of an afterthought, I guess they pivoted.

There wasn't really a guy-hating culture, in fact, most of the employees there were men. I don't know how it's changed since.

Hopefully we still have a few good men on the inside.

I re-read the parent, and nowhere does it say nor imply that the CTO nor the people he hired were male. For all that we know, the site might be built by bimbos scratching one of their own itches.

I wouldn't bet on it, of course, but I'm amazed to see that prejudices are so deeply ingrained that:

* you read what was absolutely not written;

* nobody noticed.

The parent is StavrosK, in their profile it says "I'm Stavros Korokithakis.", Stavros being a mans name.

Of course, it could not be true, but I can't see why anyone would bother.

His username is "StavrosK", and his full name, Stavros Korokithakis is in his profile. If you weren't familiar with the name Stavros and didn't know the gender, you could google it and the first link would take you to his website which shows his photo.

I don't see the 'deeply ingrained prejudice' here.
