Stop Telling Women Not To DoStartups

Screen Shot 2011-12-12 at 12.52.30 AMEver want to punch a blog post in the face? Well, thats how I feel every time I see a headline that attempts to crystallize some universal truth about iffy "in tech" topics like women in tech, African Americans in tech, teens in tech, etc.Because nothing says link bait like "taking on a controversial topic" stupidly using gross generalizations. The latest in this series is a post by Penelope Trunk, who is either a master at extrapolation or seems to have seriously conflated the word women with Penelope Trunk. I remember being a young TechCruncher reading her first post, Women Don't Want To Run Startups Because They'd Rather Have Children and thinking, Wow, this seems deliberate.
