a female only group is a rational response to a brogrammer culture. a desire for a femcentric branch forum {note i didnt say sub forum} is something that should be taken as a symptom of a systemic problem. women, are already segregated devalued and even attacked for thier gender, right here in SV, and right here in YC and HN. ostriches are not the only bird that thrust thier heads in the sand. segregation has happened before. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_Burning

Are you seriously condemning segregation while propping up a women-only group? Also, Mississippi Burning? Do you not realize the extent of hyperbole in that comparison?

  segregation is bad, segregation is exclusion of another group or creed. the desire to have a place where something can be accomplished without being shamed or ostracized automatically for no other reason than being xenogenous is a big concern. It should come as a big wakeup call that women are so uncomfortable that they feel a need for a place of respite. I hope they excell far above YC, and i also wonder why there was a need for the startup to separate itself from YC so early in the game. Is it because they were encouraged every step of the way? or perhaps they were made to feel equal and given congruency of accreditation for thier efforts, maybe its the habit thier peers have of providing a hand shake and a conversation that involves a look in the eye that doesnt go south, maybe its about the absence of obscene whispering when they walk by certain offices and lounges? I dont know maybe its me, maybe im not seeing the reality around me, only a bunch of me too clenching feminists. There is a lot of change that has to happen. monumental change. The existence of this thread is proof and pudding all at once.
