Geeks Uncensored chat with Jessica Mah CEO and Founder of inDinero

It's not explicit enough to be harassment, but just bad enough to make a woman engineer in a professional setting with you feel uncomfortable, and want to actively avoid you.

I'm one of the interviewers for GU. We're fairly new to this and started the show just a few weeks ago to have conversational-style chats with other entrepreneurs in the valley. Any and all feedback is appreciated! Thanks. : )

This is the type of asinine comment made in 'jest' that apparently makes so many women cautious about the tech community. It's not explicit enough to be harassment, but just bad enough to make a woman engineer in a professional setting with you feel uncomfortable, and want to actively avoid you.

Not really a big fan of the comment either, but the tag line for "Geeks Uncensored" says "We are Smart, Sexy and ♥ talking about Tech, Social Media, Trends, Gadgets and everything Geeky." So "Sexy" and "Uncensored" - seems like they're the ones who are already trying to stay just this side of explicit.

"...we decided to do this show as there's a lack of hot females talking about technology..." I'm assuming it's in jest?

I started watching but turned off due to the sound quality. I think its the sound of the fan from the computer being picked up by the mic. Blame steve jobs :) Keep doing what you are doing, looked like an interesting interview.

true there are tons of hot successful women talking about technology, but most of them are LA based. We were talking about Silicon Valley.
