Google Hosts Special Demo Day For Female Entrepreneurs (thenewstack.io)

An anonymous reader writes: Wednesday Google hosted a special edition of their annual "Demo Day" event featuring 11 early-stage startup companies founded by women from eight different countries. More than 450 women from 40 different counties applied for a spot, and the winner of the competition was Bridgit, a fast-growing Canadian company which provides a mobile communications platform for construction teams. Online voters also awarded the "Game Changer" title to KiChing, a startup that's actively addressing Mexico's unique e-commerce challenges. But all of the startups at Wednesday's event were already actively raising series-A funding, and "We aim to help connect them to mentors, access to capital, and shine a spotlight on their efforts," said Mary Grove, the director of Google for Entrepreneurs, addressing the Demo Day audience in San Francisco.

      Let the ladies have their Tupperware parties. Here's the reality:

      1. Men have higher IQs
      2. Teams of men outperform mixed teams and teams of women to a rediculous degree
      3. Men get more attractive as we age, since our attractiveness is based on success
      4. Men can reproduce at any age
      5. Women have created a society where they're forced to work, even after marriage
      6. Many women will have had their unborn children murdered inside them in order to pursue trivial things like careers or educations
      7. Women are the first to go as they often hold worthless positions in HR and reception
      8. Women get easy degrees and then complain that women don't get jobs requiring difficult degrees

      Enjoy being a man, it only gets better with age.
