We all know LinkedIn is a 'match.com' or 'tinder' or 'okcupid' for the majority of folks. "We only hire hot chicks..." a quote from the article, is very truth telling. Lets be honest folks.
Until we are honest with ourselves about the sexual dynamics (including what our wives or SO's think) that exist, we will go no where on this issue.
The fact that your assumption is that everyone reading this has wives says a lot...
If this is the case, then I'm unsure this is a problem that the tech industry has to face facts with, but a problem that the finance industry has to acknowledge. The stereotype is (not sure if its still completely true) is that finance is still a huge boys club, and I think the tech industry has made far more strides in diversity than the finance industry has. If the problem really is "VCs don't invest in women" or "there aren't enough female partners" it would help to know 1.) the career path to be a VC partner and 2.) the percentage of women that qualify.
