Strongly good. If there is a substantial group of people that want to gather and find there is value, it should be an option.

Good. Some people need and thrive in these groups so I think they are useful.

Good. I disagree completely with that analysis. The reality is that to help encourage women certain women might find that as a better entry point into technology and we need more women, more different types of folks into the technology space and so we have to be welcoming in a way that's appealing to them.
They might not be perfect for every kind of woman, but for some women I think they're a great entry point. I'm highly in favor of them and I just think this is mostly men saying that they don't think that these kinds of things are necessary.

I think it probably depends on the event. We have an event called Female Founders conference that is really good and we've had a lot of really strong founders come in through that. And so certainly I think that's good.

I think that they do a lot of good, the term evil seems a bit too harsh. They allow women to connect with each other in an industry that is still mostly dominated by men. While it isn't for everyone, I can't it really see how they could cause harm for anyone. I believe that there is still a strong need for them.

Good. Although I take their point, because Techstars doesn't for example have accelerators that are focused on women. We want to celebrate the women that are in the top level of the accelerator, right, alongside everybody else. But I think if it's organized by women and it's for women who want to attend and network, there's nothing wrong with that.
