“She’s not like other girls” is a sexist thing to say and it isn’t a compliment. Even still, this:

> Most women in the Bay Area are soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit

Is not really something that can be said “without malice” no matter the context.

Again, I'd urge you to read the context from where that quote was lifted. It's obviously written in an irreverent style, meant to exaggerate the contrast between this British Trader woman vs other women. I read this book when it came out and it was a good read.

If we can't have autobiographies written in an entertaining style, perhaps Balaji was right that we should all write pseudonymously to avoid being cancelled 5-10 years later.
