Penelope is known for throwing out controversial memes and running with the ones that get attention.

This idea got her some pageviews last year and she's been rewriting the same article over and over again ever since:

http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/09/women-startups-childre/

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505143_162-47140168/are-startups...

http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2011/08/16/blueprint-for-a-wom...

http://venturebeat.com/2011/11/29/woman-problem-what-woman-p...

And now, of course, today's link bait. As with other trolls, the best thing to do is to just ignore her.



I stopped reading the TC article when I hit the byline, having read her writing before.

Kudos, I guess, for her omitting (or TechCrunch excising) the advice about how women who really want to succeed should get plastic surgery, focus less on work and more on capturing and keeping a man.

That "Blueprint" post reads so much like satire that I actually read the entire thing, only to discover the woman was dead serious. "It's no small feat, but Botox and Restylane will be your best teammates in this part of the adventure." For real?? And that's not even the worst part of the post. Egad.

Anything for page views, I guess! :/
