I read it. She's ranting about something else - a VC suggesting he has no female-founded companies in his portfolio because very few apply - and somehow this offends her.

But along the way, she claims that "the extent to which she is founding a company is the extent to which I have something in common with her", which pretty much contradicts the entire pro-diversity narrative.

Seems like the part she's pissed at is "I think mothers have more important things to do...be mothers".
Which is true, because your child should be your #1 priority. Regardless of your gender.
What if you have 2 kids? Who should be your #1 priority?

In any case, how important children should be for their parents is not the key issue here.

The key issue is how you treat your potential investors (preferably with respect).
