@sama 2 answers:
1. Read @ModelViewMedia & tell *us* how YC will change.
2. "Female" is how men who don't work w/ women refer to women.

.@sama we don't need your goddamn encouragement. Need VC to stop systematically underfunding women and feeding a toxic, abusive culture.

@shanley i'm asking how to help. to fund more women, we need to get more to apply. and need to learn how to make culture better.

“@sama: question for current and potential female founders--what could YC do to encourage you to start companies?" - super strange question.
