I think you've hit the nail on the head. Sure, it'd be nice to live in a world where the genders of the founders didn't matter, but we don't. Almost half the Internet population is female, yet there are very few sites catering to them. This is dogfooding, plain and simple. I would never dream of launching a site to connect consumers with the perfect pair of high heel shoes, but there's probably a massive market for such a service.
Women will get attention because they're the minority, and because they pursue business opportunities that don't occur to male geeks. If we had Eskimos launching sites, they'd get covered too.
There's a massive market out there that isn't getting served by the rank and file tech entrepreneur. More power to whoever finds a way to exploit it. Crying 'reverse sexism' strikes me as simply pathetic.
