Every time I see one of these threads, I'm unable to understand responses such as yours.
Whether he's referring to his girlfriend or women in general, he's perpetuating a stereotype. This has less to do with sexism, and more to do with offensive stereotyping. You could replace the girlfriend example with anything from this page (first link i found) - http://examples.yourdictionary.com/stereotype-examples.html - and it's equally wrong.
He's doing it as a representative of his company, and so Atlassian needs to acknowledge that it's wrong, and they're going to do something about it. An employee made a mistake in a public forum - simple as that.
I'm always disappointed with Famo.us's updates - so much hype, so much opportunity, always feels wasted. Building out a developer network is hard, and they were so good at getting buzz/interest- would love to see them translate it to something meaningful in a timely manner (like apps actually using and succeeding with the fwk), vs. sending more and more marketing updates.
On the other hand, investors are unlike employees in that they can be ignored if they're not a good fit/not adding value/worse yet, detracting value. Except if they're on your board.
I guess all I'm trying to say is that it would be cool if there was a way for investors/entrepreneurs to try each other out first.
"I’m dubious of entrepreneurs who key buyer value is highest price. Building a company is hard and the chances of success are low. I’m looking for entrepreneurs that recognize that supportive VCs who bring relationships, experience, perseverance, tolerance and who are unflappable in difficult times are worth their weight in gold. People who solely value highest price as the decision factor exhibit something about their decision-making processes."

The challenge here as an entrepreneur is that unless you work with a VC for an extended period of time like a year, it's very hard to know how much value they're truly going to add. Every VC claims to be the world's most supportive/connected/the founder's friend, but it's very hard to truly figure that out without working with them IMO. As a result, it's easier to just prioritize based on numbers most of the time.
