I think some of this is actually driven by some of the women in the business. I cringed at the idea of your list thinking at least some of them would be on it, but they weren't. I think quite a few other women contribute to the problem by accepting and befriending these girls, which is fine but women can't do this and then be upset that nobody gives them respect. I didn't have any trouble getting on VC radar, attracting angels and have never experienced sexism. Once in a while, guys will hit on me but again, I think it's all about how you carry yourself and conduct your work in the market.
