        @paulg a YC with no Jessica is a world with no @reddit. I don't want to live in that world. Fix it, @WSJ.

        @paulg That a twitter mob attacked YC for perceived chauvinism is partly due to this blindness to YC's female cofounder and female partners

        @graemeblake Yes. Imagine how indignant it made Jessica to hear people saying *her* company discriminated against women.

        @paulg like how @crystal got written out of @twitter's history even though she was the founder who worked there longest & hired most people

        @paulg thank you; well-noted error, indeed. Jessica serves as an inspiration to so many of us in the FF community.

        @paulg @Aboundlessworld it bugged me when they said Elon Musk and YC president in recent panel video on YT. Like @sama doesn't have a name.

        @paulg @foundersatwork FWIW, the primary factor in my desire to accept YC's offer back in w07 was Jessica herself
