He didn't sponsor only men, and I didn't say that. I'm saying: men as the majority group in tech have been the majority benefactors of "taking a chance on someone."

The idea that this is a unique stance to take for women (or indeed, a new concept) is absurd and incendiary on its face.

There are more yellow fish in my tank than there are red. So when I add food to the tank, yellow fish benefit disproportionately. Therefore, I should feed the red fish separately. Got it.

If the yellow fish complained that red fish were getting a free meal at feeding time, you'd have an analogous example.

Simple fact: There are more men in the industry that have experienced this practice than women. It's precisely because there are more men that it's absurd to say this practice is unique and favoring women.
