You're extremely selfish. I met the woman who wrote this article and was on a panel with her once five years ago and she was incredible and positive and never talked about her gender once.

She actually made a super valuable company sold it and gave birth to a child during all of this and you are on here talking about how sad your life is because you acknowledge you're unwilling to have a cofounder because you're so unlikeable and because of that saying all women have it easier.

Your are toxic. If you want to go cry about how no VCs like you then make your own post but this article is not the place for you.

For sure this thread was a poor place to change the subject in that way and the commenter should not have started a flamewar (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23605490). But crossing into personal attack is also a big step in the wrong direction, and also toxic. Please don't do that on HN, regardless of how wrong another user is or you feel they are. It only contributes to destroying this place further. There's also something to be said about not responding to a mention of suicide by aggressively hammering a person.

Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here? We'd be grateful. Note the most important one: Be kind.
