Sometimes, I’ll scan someone’s profile before I follow them, and if they only laud dudes it’s a hard pass for me. There are loads of women entrepreneurs — successful ones at that, is it really hard to feature them? Often, I see stories of women but it’s only when they’ve misstepped or screwed up their company culture — always we hear of a woman’s screw ups.

The male-run business pubs on medium rarely feature women in business. People who even write about success and top writers on medium exclude women, and promote their echo chamber bias under the guise of “data analysis” when their selection, criterion, and analyses don’t even adhere to data science best practices. I rarely see men write about women and when they do it feels like tokenism.

When it comes to business, women and POC want the opportunity to fail like a white guy. But we can’t. We have to be twice as smarter to get half the credit. Men are given shot after shot, regardless of their merit. It’s frustrating, TBH.
