For the most part, trying to design tech for women ends up, well-meaning or not, assuming women are dumber than men. Which is a dumb assumption.

We're not really picking on any particular social network effort here. But why haven't any of these platforms truly caught on in the scientific community?

There is constant discussion about whether women and tech startups mix. Despite the fact that women start small businesses at a faster rate than men, the hand-wringing only seems to reach a wide audience when the startup in question is in the tech or social media space.

Earlier this month, Gal Harth, a 15-year-old entrepreneur from Israel, launched his latest venture, Doweet, at the prestigious TechCrunch Disrupt event. Gal gained a massive amount of buzz for his product as well as for age. Doweet has taken the dehumanizing nature of technology and used it to help facilitate real life interactions.

Now that the TechCrunch editorial dispute has been resolved, let me turn my attention to the Wall Street Journal's coverage of it. In the most egregious case of mislabeling this side of Zabar's no lobster "lobster salad," the Journal's front page, above-the-fold story on Saturday sought to paint the situation as a "culture clash" based on "clashing personalities." It was, in fact, nothing of the kind. The issue at hand wasn't about personalities. It was about principle; a very simple fundamental principle about conflicts of interest that every journalistic enterprise -- including the Wall Street Journal -- adheres to. But you wouldn't know that from the exceptionally misinformed, substance-lite, and anonymous-quote-riddled piece. There is one upside to this shoddy journalism: the Journal reporters got the story so wrong, at least we know they aren't hacking into our phones.
