Interesting use of statistical framing in the headline: 78% of YC startups have no female founder vs. 22% of YC startups have atleast one female founder, as mentioned in the article.

I don't think the headline "Only 22% of YC Startups have a Female Founder" is any less glaring.

I'ld say 7 out of ten programmers are men. Seems like they are keeping with the probability.

The point is that the statistics are the exact same, but one makes a much more baity headline.
