Dude, Google "wired magazine". It's more men than women. Saying that women only got there because of their gender is misogynist and undermines their achievements. You can't pick random people and ask why they weren't featured to make your point. Most people aren't featured, duh.

Those are your negative controls, really? Companies/businesses much older and than adafruit? I hadn't even heard of them. Have you considered that maybe adafruit is a better story because it's a new start-up from this century, and it has nothing to do with the owner's gender?

Who, Applied Science Ben or someone else? Please learn to thread your replies linearly properly, this conversation is getting impossible to follow.

You didn't mention Ben in *this* thread, which is why I keep saying your misuse of Twitter threading is confusing. Yes, I know who the Applied Science guy is. Yes, he's awesome. No, I don't think him not having made it to the cover of Wired is a valid argument.
