I'm not looking to argue for or against either side here, but:

"How I raised a $5.1M seed as a first-time, female founder" =/= simply referring to a woman as a woman.

"How I raised a $5.1M seed as a first-time, male founder" would certainly prompt questions about why male is relevant, particularly more so than attributes like low-income, immigrant, dropout, etc.

Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar. Nothing new will come of this, nor anything interesting—just more nastiness. We're trying for curious conversation here.
