This is sexist. They should also allow Introverted Males WithOut Rich Parents to form a company for free. It is very difficult for an IMWORPs to start a company and raise funding these days. How many IMWORP CEOs are there these days? Probably close to 0. The worst part is that people make no distinction between IMWORP and EMWRPs even though we're the opposite.

Inequality against man! Stripe wants to earn brownie points via hacker news. Not Good.

Is there any field AT ALL where males are underprivileged and they are somehow helped compared to females ?

So that’s how equality looks like?

Yes, that's how equality of outcome works. While equality of opportunity ..

.. rewards people for their contributions, not based on their identity.

Nope, this is called affirmative action. Equality is a different thing and affirmative action is a possible way to try to reach more equality.

Image it like Norway allowing electric cars on bus lanes. It's a way to reach a goal and can be phased out once you have gotten close enough.

Looks like this post is angering some people so I will mention it looks like the promo is regardless of gender? Aside from the header "Stripe for female founders has invited you to join Stripe Atlas." there is no suggestion that gender is a limiting factor for the discount.

Why is it based on gender and not financial ressources though? I'm fairly sure there are women who can afford to pay $500 for this service and men who can't, sounds like yet another unnecessary divisive PR move that no one needs right now.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, nursing.

How are males helped with easier stuff on nursing compared to females ??

I was wondering about this as well. Did some googling. Saw many articles about how there is a strong demand for male nurses. Found nothing about special incentives or other benefits for being a male and entering nursing. Maybe they exist but don't show up in the top of the SERPs.

How is this not sexism? Are women somehow less capable than men and need services handed to them in order to be successful? I don't think that's the case and I'm surprised Stripe appears to!
