Yeah it's such a bizarre mix of poor decision making (why would she not roundtable her ideas first? how did the app get that far into development with flaws that are hugely offputting to its target customers?) and poor people skills.

She's a capitalist, trying to make money. She wasn't ever trying to stand for women or help us.

Absolutely agree. She thought we were dumb 'giggling girls' who'd buy anything pink.

From what I can tell, it's a startup. Lots of startups have problems like these. I havent downloaded it yet but I'm also giving her the benefit of the doubt when it comes to intentions. She seems like someone who is more tenacious than diplomatic, and it's not unusual for people like that to sometimes have gaffes. I'm not about to trash talk some woman who's building a company from the ground up that I wont support her because when she first started out, she didn't have a PR person and she came off as not nice enough.
