There have been several women coming out in the past few months reporting VC partners behaving in a similar manner, hence that being a trend vs being about "just that one group of people"
> What is it about that group of people that makes them behave that way?
Ok, maybe I'm just parsing words here, but your statement can be read as:
"that group of people [VCs and CEOs] behave that way [sexual harassment]"
Which overgeneralizes, because this still appears to be a small number of offenders, despite the recent outings.
That said, I'm willing to believe/accept that the same qualities that make someone think they should be CEO or a power-investor, and not a lowly peon worker, translates into a higher likelihood of douchebaggery.
Your question overgeneralizes. You're attributing to the group, the qualities of a small number of individuals.
