Not sure why you're being downvoted. The proof is in the pudding, grandstanding about equality while lacking staff diversity seems more like marketing and insurance against an Uberesque downfall that would lose them money.

"We deeply appreciate the bravery of the women who have publicly come forward and disclosed their specific issues of sexual harassment. The behavior they experienced is not ok, has never been ok, and will simply not be tolerated by us in any way."

"That's not ok with us." LOL, I can hear the muffled echoes of smug boardroom back-pats from here.

Really? "a [VC] partnership of six middle-aged white men" lauding female bravery. This would be so much more interesting if they acknowledged discrimination in the industry and held up their company as an example of that. America isn't 100% white middle-aged men now is it? I mean, how does that happen, I'm multiracial myself and the people I spitball company ideas with certainly aren't all male nor are they all the same ethnicity. The infantile, forceful, moralistic writing makes this all the worse.

You don't understand the difference between grandstanding and public support. That's why you don't understand how it's being downvoted.

It was also rhetorical as the rest of my post was critical. Also looks like it went from - to +, so you can ignore that comment now.
