I believe the authors argument is that the VC's (or at least this particular one) use the antiquated idea that "mothers should be mothers" to subconsciously look down on woman founders who pitch, because they should be at home "being mothers" instead.

This guy is literally a father. Why does he believe he can be a father AND a VC, yet women are incapable of being a mother AND a founder? Then he uses his wife as an example to extrapolate the desires of half the world population. He's absurd.

Defend himself? He's not even identified! It's just an example of what the author is talking about, it's not a personal attack. Even if you would interpret it differently, it doesn't really matter, because the subject is not that particular conversation.
