    I won't even get into the fact that my NYT tech startup profile started with the bizzarre statement that I am not a natural blonde.

        @avantgame i'm sorry. Just did what has been done for ages (be grateful for what you got), when in reality indignation IS appropriate.

        @nilofer it was a battle I fought with myself. Many colleagues said same thing. Faustian bargain of doing press.

        @avantgame Raising awareness for how sexism continues is ... how awareness gets raised. Not by accepting it as is.

        @avantgame I think the last time I heard someone bring up a woman's natural hair color it was in an episode of "I Love Lucy".

        @avantgame But if we can't even trust you on your hair colour, how should we ever have faith in your business?! #OrSomethingLikeThat
