Stripe for female founders has invited you to join Stripe Atlas

"Form your new company as either an LLC or C Corporation in Delaware." - Isn't Delaware the new patent troll capital. Why would I want to start a company there?

"Stripe Atlas will waive the one-time $500 company formation fee for anyone that uses the link below by October 15th." - Not just females? Otherwise it could be considered discrimination.

So that’s how equality looks like?

Interested to know how this can be legal (much as I support greater balance)

I get the intent here and applaud encouraging female participation and equality, but this is pretty much just discrimination based on sex.

Delaware has been advantageous for corporations for years for various legal and tax purposes, this isn't new.
