        @paulg My experiences with the press made me resolve never to talk to them again. They only care about supporting what they already think.

        @jar346 (Hi Jonathan!) Not the best ones. Stephen Levy for example. He's a figurer-out.

        @paulg happy to see clarification. As an outsider, given this is a recurring issue for YC's messaging, why not proactively write about it?

        @davemcclure @paulg well, this was obviously more reactive and after-the-fact. Easier for people to know your goals if you state them.

        @anildash @paulg but investing in women founders seems like the strongest possible statement, not just writing about it. both are necessary

        @davemcclure @paulg this is especially true because we're all privileged to have voices that people listen to. So we should use them well.

        @paulg @anildash Thanks for the clarification. Context matters. This is why we don't use GOTOs. --Foreign-accented tech woman over 35

        @paulg What! A publication called Valleywag too comments out of context in order to create sensationalism and page views? I AM SHOCKED!

        @paulg The scrutiny means you're doing something right... I have 3 girls (5yr and 2x at 3yr). Expect their applications for YC32.
