Female Investor Inquiries

[Krystle Little]

Good afternoon everyone! 

This question applies to the female investors..Has anyone run across any hurdles because of your gender? I am one who believes as long as an individual provides a great service/product that the gender should not matter. I'm unsure of how the client perceives it, but I was just curious.  I'm very new at investing and this was a question I always wondered about.

I couldn't agree with @Karen Margrave more.  I have always worked in a male dominated environment.  I don't view myself as different than them.  And if they think I am different than them... wait till you work with me.  Chances are I have bigger cajones than they do.

At my previous company they established a "woman's legion" to meet monthly and promote woman specific issues in the workplace, and TBH it pissed me off.  The second they defined themselves as a separate class or segment is the second they open themselves to be treated differently.
