      As someone that knows and deeply respects both of you, I don't think Twitter is the place we're going to have a meaningful exchange on this critical topic. What I will offer as my 2 cents:https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1131251992914026496 …

      In the case of @APatelThompson, having small children was a critical advantage, because her experience as a parent led to both her first startup, Poppy, and the even better idea she got as a result of working on it.

      1) @ycombinator in general + PG/Jessica in particular, have been some of most supportive and instrumental in my startup journey. Where I otherwise found bias and ridiculous reactions to being a mother starting a company with 2 young kids, I have only gotten merit-driven support.

      2) Comments by PG made in 2005 about the wisdom of starting a company with a woman with young kids is personally hurtful and I believe misguided. There are so many ways that we demonstrate grit and dedication and resourceful that such a view is not only wrong, it's harmful.

      I have such admiration and respect for work that both of you, @paulg and @amy_riveter do because in your own ways, you seek to forge new paths guided by your own sense of truth. So on my part I hope we can find a way to have a productive exchange on a deeply important issue.

      Yeah, it doesn't strike me that Twitter is an ideal place to talk about this either. Avni, if you know Amy's email address, could you perhaps email both of us?
