It's both.
> Cause if social then I'd say it's the exact oppopsite, one of the main reason men has 3-4x higher suicide rate than women in the west.
Those stats are very different depending on the social class. Men have fewer support networks in lower social class, but more in the upper classes. Given that we're talking about business owners, that's the range we're talking about.
Source? Is there a rigorous definition of a support network, and some statistics showing that women have less access to them?
Convenient.
Where do they suggest a rigorous definition of a support group in that article?
So wait, let me get this straight
'I want an example of a study with data'
'here you go'
'well, well, well isn't that just convenient'
From here it feels like you're not approaching this argument in good faith.
> Where do they suggest a rigorous definition of a support group in that article?
They cover their methodology pretty clearly.
>They cover their methodology pretty clearly.
OK, but where do they suggest a rigorous definition of a support network, which is what I asked about?

It's continuing the problem by criticizing someone helping women. Regardless of what "time" it is -- it's damn awesome she's willing to help, whoever she helps.
The presence of a statistical disparity does not automatically indicate malicious discrimination. I don't doubt that there is some amount of sexism present overall, but we're going to need more than uneven gender distribution to make this judgement.
What about any other jobs or where women are under- or over-represented, like teaching, or nursing, or construction? Are different gender distributions among those an indication of malicious discrimination or sexism in either direction?
In fact the problem is exactly the opposite -- it's the lack of awareness that people unknowingly tend to choose people based off "gut feel" that a man will do better. This is well studied and documented and only recently have women started to enter the workforce and based off the few studies that show women in exec positions often do significantly better than the average male who are in those positions.
A few articles: - https://www.thebalance.com/do-companies-with-female-executiv... - https://www.statnews.com/2016/07/29/women-in-science/ - https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/16/success/women-ceos-and-cfos-o...
She is being criticised, rightfully, because what she's doing is sexism against men. Where's the consistency? Things like this show very bad double standards: women are allowed to openly discriminate against men, without consequences. That's just not right.
Please backup your arguments, because from what I've seen that's completely false. In fact, only 2.8% of VC dollars go to women, and that's considered an improvement: https://fortune.com/2020/03/02/female-founders-funding-2019/
There's _complete_ bias against them and only in the last 2-3 years has that started to turn around, and are obviously still behind it. Yeah, anecdotally you've heard of a few cases of it -- because people try to draw extra attention, but look at statistics (like above), and it's _clear_ that is the exception. This is what I observed when raising my own capital (with a female co-founder) and many of my colleagues doing the same -- and men were often very biased against women.
She's _balancing_ the discrimination -- again, look at the statistics above. She'll hardly budge it -- and this is _after_ many female-only funds have been created to try to balance it in recent years. We need to over compensate for our complete and utter discrimination before talking about "equality" among men -- there is NO equality.
Also, that is _false_ that women can openly discriminate against men -- it might be true in certain areas, but many areas (such as housing, employment, etc.)
We've been doing better in board member seats (20%, up from 17%): In the U.S., women hold about 20 percent of board seats at companies listed in the Russell 3000 stock index, up from 17 percent in 2018, according to the nonprofit 2020 Women on Boards.
But we're still hugely biased. Checkout other articles I listed to other response as well
Your sex does not matter during a time like this. Unless you are suffering from domestic violence, it is less scary to be a woman right now, since you are less affected by COVID-19 than men are.
Anyway, everybody should be able to help whoever he or she wants to help, and it is nice that she seemingly does so without strings attached.
