In this brief monologue, the speaker challenges the practice of labeling women as "female entrepreneurs." She argues that adding gender qualifiers reinforces cultural norms that separate women from the broader entrepreneurial community and offers no practical benefit. By comparing it to other unnecessary descriptors (e.g., "brunette entrepreneur"), she emphasizes that the focus should be on the individual's capabilities, not their gender. The speaker urges women to simply identify as "entrepreneur" to promote equality and avoid unnecessary distinctions.

Stop calling yourself a female entrepreneur. I know you're trying to empower women, but by trying to empower women, you're reinforcing the cultural norm that you're trying to distinguish. If you were such a great entrepreneur, why not just call yourself an entrepreneur? I don't call myself a brunette entrepreneur, a tall entrepreneur, a Persian entrepreneur. Why does it matter that I'm a female? How is that going to help someone? How's it going to change who I am or what I'm doing? It's irrelevant information. You don't need to provide it. Call yourself an entrepreneur.
