		<description><![CDATA[Off late there has been a lot of online buzz about female or women entrepreneurs or may be its just my ecosystem connecting me to all things entrepreneurial.

First there was the TechCrunch post “Three Israeli Femme-preneurs To Keep an Eye On” and the outrage and twisted comments on it.

Then there was this article on Harvard Business Review on “How women have changed  Norway“.

Then I heard about MIT’s 2nd Annual Photo Contest, the theme for which is Women’s Entrepreneurship: Empowerment through Innovation.

Finally, there was an email invitation to the Delhi chapter of TIE India’s latest initiative a Special Interest Group (SIG) for Women.
I appreciate all of these initatives on one side – they encourage and showcase women in action in their respective fields of work. From the daily wage construction laborer to a small business owner to a CEO – they all should be applauded for their hard work and success.

On the other hand, does sex need to be a part of it? Is a person’s genetical framework relevant to their work? May be entrepreneurs should be applauded regardless of the sex they were born with. We all know there is no such thing as a man or woman entrepreneur. Yet we sometimes qualify professionals like doctors as male or female. Same goes with CTO, CEO, founder, Prime Minister, President, etc. Why do we do this?.............]]></description>
