cant_say_thaton Fundraising While Female

Thanks. I'm honestly starting to feel like a crazy person for thinking that men and women should be equal. The fact that I have to get behind a VPN and make a throwaway account to express that I think equality is good and positive-discrimination is bad is upsetting.

> You should look to connect with partners at firms that have invested in female founding teams (ideally purely female teams).

Are there seriously investors that only back purely female teams? That seems ridiculously sexist and financially stupid to eliminate so many good startups that aren't all female.

> You are one of those pioneering women who are paving the path for others so hopefully in 20-30 years, it's not even an issue.

I see articles like this as a small step backwards. I don't know what the answer is to discrimination (of any kind), but I think complaining about it in articles like this is not helping to reach equality.
