You're right dude, it's the patriarchy, it isn't that she:

  *makes a living blogging (and is part of that circle)
  *wastes money
  *essentially has no other skills
  *writes like a pierced emotion
  *embellishes everything (how can you be truthful about your life when all you do is blog?)
  *is not level-headed (wish she was my CEO!)
  *is running a goofy business
  *contributes nothing to this business beyond her money and her celebrity

If Fred Wilson or Mark Zuckerberg wrote this blog post how would people react? The only reason you're defending her is because she is a woman, and, in fact, you've been sucked into her 'read my blog' trap. You need to check yourself man, because it sounds like you have some mushy ideas in your head.

This is about a FAILING BUSINESS, not about which extracurricular gets equal time down by the quad.

She could be the melodramatic manager of a nail salon, for all I care. The point is, she wrote a good article about the emotional toll of not being able to make payroll.

Her chosen profession, spending habits, personal life -- nothing else is relevant to the discussion.
