YOU WONT BELIEVE: Humor new silicon valley femtech apps | Mind Blowing Facts

Women represent half of the planet’s population. ... Tapping into that spending power, a multitude of apps and tech companies have sprung up to address women’s needs.” -The New York Times (“)

Given the ballooning interest in mobile apps geared toward the unique needs of women — a fascinating subgroup representing 58% of the population — Silicon Valley’s best and brightest engineers have assembled a comprehensive presentation of the valley’s most promising app pitches that we're confident will meet the needs of you mysterious, divergent beings.

But before we get into our pitches — and trust me, I wasn’t even a little tempted to say “bitches” just then — Silicon Valley wants to emphasize just how we feel about women. So let us be emphatic: We acknowledge women. We see women, with our eyes, every single day. Heck, some of us even talk to women. So let us assure you: when virtually every major tech executive attended President Donald Trump’s inauguration, that did not represent the values of Silicon Valley. Also, Silicon Valley is, ultimately, a piece of land, and we’d encourage you not to get hysterical and start demanding that even the ground soil agree with your politics. That’s no way to make a friend.
