&gt;Are women better suited for this job?<p>Yes, practically all of the core traits PG describes are typical feminine traits. This is a nice piece because it explains how critically important the feminine touch is, and how easy it is to ignore that because most females don&#x27;t care much about their personal fame, they mostly care about helping people and being useful.<p>While PG has described the utility these traits have in running a &quot;family&quot; of founders, they&#x27;re also extremely valuable in running an actual family. PG has really written an ode to womanhood in general, and whilst reading it, I think most of us will relate as we identify similar things in our wives and mothers.<p>This is not to detract from Jessica Livingston&#x27;s specific ability to apply these to the world of VC, which undoubtedly takes a lot of skill and knowledge, but I think it&#x27;s important that we recognize the value from these types of contributions is accessible and often regularly enjoyed by those of us who are lucky enough to have such stereotypically selfless women in our lives.
