This happens literally all the time. I wouldn't recommend someone be a founder if this upsets them. No half-decent innovation isn't instantly cloned by 10 fly-by-night copycats and multiple large incumbents.

+10 - My only point here I wasnt sure why being a female founder mattered whether you could/should get angry. Getting angry is reasonable - just that what you do next and how you pick yourslef matters.
Also sorry I am not good reading the signals - why would being a female founder make you angrier than a non female founder? Id be angry as F too if a clone of my hard work appeared out of no where!
