Women entreprenuers and my thoughts

Techcrunch today published a post "Women Don’t Want To Run Startups Because They’d Rather Have Children" . Well, though I sympathize with the woman in the post,I do not agree with the tone of the article. She takes her experience and generalizes it to all women, which is just taking it to the extreme. I think ultimately what she wants to say is that, "Its tough to be a woman, and its tough to run a startup". Big deal. Its tough to run a startup. Period . Does not matter whether you are a man or a woman. And she seems to assume that bringing up a child is just the woman's job. It's not. And thats why we humans have created a family structure.So that both parents take care of the kid. If I start to write about how difficult it has been for me to both be a young dad as well as drive a startup, it would become a novel :) Actually, in the middle of the post she writes "It’s hard to not be the center, but I want to be the center of my family .&quo
