Why do you assume that a female VC won't do the exact same calculation and still refuse funding? Women aren't some secret cabal that looks out for each other. They are literally normal people and just as nasty on average as everyone else.

I assume that male VC are worse at balancing the maternity calculation with the additional energy, motivation and intellectual skills a woman could bring to the team. Well that's a weak assumption and I have no data to back it, but I'm not at all naive enough to think they are in a secret cabal looking for each other.

I bet we would be surprised that women are more vicious towards other women in this regard -- a bit of the "I did it (or didn't do it), and I'm fine -- what's your excuse?" kind of thinking.
