Well, they'd have to hire at least ONE female: for their HR department. NO man is EVER going to do that "job."
Oh, and a secretary. At least one secretary (NOT an "administrative assistant." Men can do their own damned administration, thank you very much. They just need someone to organize emails and make and bring coffee).
That's how guys in startups think, but they damn sure would never say it out loud. That would be the end of the company if it got out, and there's always one idiot who would blab it trying to prove he's a feminist in a futile attempt to get laid.
Playing devil's advocate here. . . of the five guys in the cartoon, two are playing ping-pong and one is playing a video game. The other two might be working, but might just as easily be playing games on their laptops. (Lord knows I did enough of that when I was supposed to be working.) So the cartoon could be interpreted to mean that whatever they're supposed to be producing isn't going to get done until they hire a woman.
I've been in that company. What you don't understand is that the guys playing the pong game have been working without breaks or food for 8 hours straight. The guy on the video game is relaxing from trying to figure out a complicated task that he's been smacking his head on for the past two weeks, so he's working on a mindless task to get himself off the much worse higher pressure mission critical task that he's been stressing over. Those two hairy guys lairing in their chairs are going to be physically thrown out of the office at 6pm because the owner knows they will stay up all night drinking red bull and burning themselves out if he doesn't force them to go home for the night.
When men are in a room like that one, they are all intensely focused on getting things done. There is no clock, there is no oversight, but there is this incredible energy, this need to make something happen. Everyone in that room understands that if they don't get it done, it ain't getting done. And if it gets done, then they are each getting a million dollar payoff. And believe me, it may seem relaxed and friendly, but EVERYONE is well aware if someone is fucking up. That is a no-bullshit zone.

So true, bro.
Ever notice how Silicon Valley doesn't have any females?

aka: Not All First Mandated By Government Fiat Female Employees Are Like That! (NAFMBGFFEALT!)
Great first we had fiat currency, now fiat women ... Women should be spreading their legs for country & us MGTOW PUA's.
If a woman hasnt produced kids by the age of 16, as her biology demands, she's a fiat woman...
The optimum age for pregnancy is 16, 25 & the eggs are too degrade'd genetically

Thank you, Ron. I've never experienced being in a company like that, but it doesn't REALLY take much imagination to picture how it is there.
