Lets be honest here.

A lot of people are not going to like this type of post (as witnessed by the response here), but like any news outlet, sensationalist news sells. Jean Hsu is just following Gary V's advice and building up brand equity. There is no better way than to use your various circumstances in life to build a considerable amount of valley buzz.

Well played. I would do it too if I were in your shoes.

PS. Out of the last 10 hires I made for my previous startup, 3 of them were woman. I believe that's higher than industry standards.

IMO, this type of buzz is no more than flamebait. But maybe my view of things is skewed.

PS. 30% women hires is pretty much the industry average.
