if you want to hire outstanding women you go find outstanding women  I think the flaw here is that gender is still a factor. If you truly want equality you should stop giving a shit about the gender of who you hire and hire outstanding PEOPLE. If there are less women in the industry, so fucking what? It doesn't automatically mean sexism, just that venture capital isn't a particularly popular industry for females. But of course instead of realizing this people think "OMG SEXISM". So then they give women special privileges to "encourage" them to choose a career in [insert career].  Example: The college I go to has a 500$ scholarship awarded to women majoring in Computer Science(my major, I should say that I am male) JUST FOR BEING A WOMAN. Not for having exceptionally high grades. Not for having a high SAT/ACT score. FOR BEING FUCKING FEMALE. Yet if the genders were reversed you can bet your ass there would be a huge uproar and the SJWs would be screaming sexism so loud you could hear it from space. God this shit is fucking depressing. /endrant
