Perhaps not the best choice of words for a wide audience, but the overall message is spot on.

It's the title of the article, and what—"Shit" is permissible but "Bitch" isn't?
There's some really good content here.

#5Not everyone is like you, who's satisfied with a small business making enough money to get by with a relatively satisfactory life. People who risk everything to make something happen don't deserve to hear "Bitch please". The people who wake up at 4am are the ones do it because they chose that life, never because VCs push them to.

Author here. I'm not a fan of swearing, but I felt that 'Shit' deserved an equally emotional response. Perhaps a mistake.

Author here. Everyone can make their own choices. My 'Bitch Please' (which was perhaps an over reaction to 'Shit') is in no way addressed to Entrepreneurs, but to Mark Suster, who paints Entrepreneurship as shitty.
About VCs - they don't push anyone, but they enable it.

I agree. Nobody said that having a small business that is making enough money to live a happy life is a bad thing. But lots of us are driven by the ambition to build something bigger. That's the driving force. Not some VC.

Yeah, it's a word used to put down females. Whereas I couldn't care less about "shit." Please edit; flagged until edited.

Sorry about that. I'm not a native english speaker. To my ear, 'Shit' and 'Bitch' has about the same potential offense.
