Does this apply to those that self-identify as female if there is a dollar in it?

#32"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.
Delaware has an extensively tested legal framework for corporations, well known for VCs, easy on the administrative and taxation burdens, etc.

#33Amazed nobody read the offer before commenting.
I guess women are a subset of anyone lol

#34Incorrect title.

#35Is there any field AT ALL where males are underprivileged and they are somehow helped compared to females ?
Yes, nursing.
I guess the roughly equivalent move here would be for a nursing school to reduce or waive certain fees for male applicants, based on a desire to encourage more men to apply, enroll, and ultimately enter the nursing field. It’s not immediately obvious to me what the public reaction would be.

#36You know what would have been a much better move?
Stripe Atlas waives the one-time $500 company formation fee for everyone.
Stripe could then generate back the $500 in credit card processing fees by bolstering those startups, which wouldn't have otherwise existed.
Edit: I see where the confusion is.
The title is: "Stripe for female founders has invited you to join Stripe Atlas."
That's the reason for the reaction.
However, at the bottom.
"Stripe Atlas will waive the one-time $500 company formation fee for anyone that uses the link below by October 15th."
I applaud this. The copy should have been read a bit more carefully!
Although this article has been flagged. I would welcome clarification by Stripe!

#40Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, that's how equality of outcome works. While equality of opportunity ..
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.
You should see Medical Doctor acceptance criteria based on race (white vs black vs asian).
