#2How about remote teams?
At previous startup we had guys from: Germany, Russia, US, Romania, Brasil, Ukraine, Philippines.

#3I don't fit in! Then again, I am a genuine feminist, which to me means I am happy to let the missus (who does fit in) focus on her career, which she prefers anyway, while I, as a dad, stay at home and parent the kid(s). Feminism, f* yeah!
All I can do now is wait until they're old enough to learn a thing or two about computers if they are so inclined...

Why did you put "cultural fit" in quotes? Your criterion is just as poorly defined as everyone else's "cultural fit" criteria and, just like theirs, acts as a way to simply exclude people because they're not like you.

I believe using quotes like he did is shorthand to indicate that you think the term is illegitimate and a bit silly, so you may be in agreement with him.
