How could it possibly not be an appropriate question?

If you go ask someone to give you their money, you have absolutely no right to complain about how they do their due diligence.

Nope, sorry. People do have a right to complain. Doing so may hurt their chances of actually getting such money, but they certainly have that right.

That's fair, in the US the first amendment grants everyone that right.

I suppose that could've been better worded as:

If you go ask someone to give you their money, you are in no position to complain about how they do their due diligence.

every entrepreneur needs to choose their investors wisely. And for me, misogyny is a deal breaker. I have kids. This is my second startup and I know what I am doing. End of story.
