If there's one topic that peeves me around the gender war, it's this one.

There's not a bank in Canada that doesn't have a small business initiative or two devoted to women. There's multiple sources of female only venture capital, female preferred lending with preferred rates, and all sorts of small business associations devoted to female entrepreneurship. This has been going on for decades, now, and women are still the dim, dim, dim minority of entrepreneurs. VC follows entrepreneurship, because that's who they are bloody lending to, and people are surprised that when most entrepreneurs are men, that most of the people lending them money are also men? Who woulda thunk?

You can't MAKE women sign up to start a business.  You can't MAKE them more risk tolerant.  You can't MAKE the prioritize change, risk or long hours over their family or relationships.

And for heaven's sake, stop quote Dr. Kaplan. All she sees is gender discrimination, from sea to sea.
