I'm disgusted by his pathetic betabitchboi apology more than anything. Who gives a shit if there aren't women on the team? Seriously? As far as anyone knows none have even applied let alone made it through interviewing. There is no shortage of women in crypto investing as compared to any other part of this industry. Look at what Kathryn Haun, Co-Chair of A16Z's Crypto funds has been doing. You don't see her pandering you see her executing like the fucking boss she is.   

Honest to god every single woman I see that does this type of crap always turns out to be so utterly unimpressive once I have a chance to speak with them and clearly only in her role because of the diversity goals of the firm. I've worked for 2 women founders in my career and they always hated this type of trash because the actual top women candidates don't need this kind of empty gesturing. They never wanted to be recognized because they had a vag, they wanted to be recognized because they were the best of the best. Anything less is just like have a big bolded asterisk by the name and title in my opinion.

Honestly, being the founding team for Bain Ventures Crypto - there isn't a traditional application. They look for people who are experts or have a notorious track record in the the Web3 ecosystem. All of candidates were probably asked explicitly then were interviewed. It wasn't an open application.  

 

Why is there a day for every single thing, person, gender, whatever, that has ever existed now?

Have we fallen that low to the shallow corners of our being that every day is now a party or celebration? No time for seriousness, sadness, time for grief at what we're becoming, tomorrow is national "dog" day and then it's national pancake day but not so fast, make sure you put your pink square on social media to let everyone know you stand with the struggle of the free American women. You question the logic behind all of this and the broken logic that seems to be applied to more and more different ideas, ideas that once made sense. You're confused, depressed, excited, all at the same time. It’s a time for change! You still have a job, a place to sleep, food is still there, what inflation? But something is wrong… and instead of gripping onto some air of seriousness to discuss this with your peers, you turn to what you know … the glimmering phone that never seems to stop buzzing beeping and feeding you your shallow empty thoughts. Instead of digging deep into critical thought you trade it for mass amounts of little insignificant buzz and beeps, it feels so good. You dig and dig through your phone liking and reinforcing any pink square and tweet you see to save the American women from oppression. As you dig through your phone for the celebration of the day, you slowly dig through your soul..until it's empty and you're alone.. in a crowded city you're alone, scared. You've dug your grave. Happy international depression day.

 

Progressives want URM women. Male Asians don’t count.

If they showed 9 female nurses in scrubs is that not sexist to males? Why does all male work photos generate so much more hate than all female work photos?

It's only sexist because it's a high-paying white collar job. There is not a single feminist lining up to become a plumber or some other type of tradesman. They're certainly not jumping over each other to work on oil rigs or fishing boats. But that high status, 6-figure office job? Well if there aren't more women getting that then of course you must be a bigoted industry.

Men aren’t falling over themselves to become nurses just to get shut out or underpaid when they are. Plus this is a flawed analogy because by far men are are the actual doctors/surgeons/dentists/optometrists/other specialists who are extraordinarily well paid.

 

and by far there are more women married to richer husbands than husbands married to richer women, should we start a diversity program for this too, it goes something like if a millionaire female marries a poor dude shell get 20 percent lesser tax rate?

 

Honestly as a CEO it might be better to just not have social media. Just say whatever you want in real life and nothing will happen to you. Just don’t post it online and you won’t be canceled 

 

Why stop at CEO? It’s not worth it for any sane rational person to actively post content on mainstream social media such as TikTok, IG, Linkedin, FB, Twitter, Reddit, etc. anymore. I only frequently use and post on WSO and know that many others have expressed similar sentiment.

Yep me too. I deleted IG, Twitter..etc. I still use YouTube but only because I post videos, however I don't comment anything opinionated on Youtube. WSO is the only site I have open conversations with due to anonymity. I tried Reddit but the reddit crowd is way too sensitive and far left to have any sort of differing opinions. Their downvote system also creates an annoying echo chamber.  I'm happy I learned early on rather than later that it's career suicide to post on main stream media unless you're carefully watching every word you post. It's more simple to just delete them all and say what you want in real life. WSO is great though, even though I disagree with you on a lot of things, the WSO site itself is pretty open speech and has a strong voice from both sides of the spectrum rather than being an echo chamber. 

 

These guys were my Yugioh lunch buddies from grade school. We huddled together, tried to avoid the bullies and jocks, and just stuck to our own things, like math/chess clubs…OK, fine, physics clubs/spell bees, whatever. At one point we tried working out, and put on 5lbs, but no one could tell. We had a hard, underrepresented life to date. That is until this crypto thing changed our lives. Now it’s our turn to help make this world a better place by changing yours for the better, hopefully maybe. But man, this was our moment! Fuuuuck!!! #stophatingnerds #biatch!!! Btw, if you have single female friends, please let us know.

Every cryptocurrency I search up was created by a guy. What's stopping the ladies from making their own and rocketing up the crypto world? 

That said I think it's a total ponzi scheme so not sure it's worth taking the W in the first place.. 

 

What's pathetic is bending the knee to those clowns.

Because women are so engaged in the crypto space lol
