  I downvoted you, here is why: Yahoo is a company on the brink of a sale, currently undergoing (some perception of) slow collapse. The gender of the CEO is to me _entirely_ aside the point. There has been quite a bit of press surrounding Nest's CEO as well, companies in turmoil attract media, it's "business soap opera". Now to play devils advocate, it may be fair to ask if she is receiving _undue_ attention due to the above, but given my anecdotal views of high profile businesspeople being put under the microscope when failures come to light (and the fact that it's rather an occams razor explanation; "rubbernecking" in the broader sense) as well as the fact that it's very easy to cite broad examinations of aquisitions even without the prompting of a "newsworthy" event (from an EXTREMELY cursory googling https://techcrunch.com/2014/02/25/the-age-of-acquisitions/ https://techcrunch.com/2014/02/25/the-age-of-acquisitions/). Frankly, your statement feels like a strawman LOOKING for there to be some gender aggression when that just isn't merited over an examination of a company with some rather entertaining decision history, that I at least would have been inclined to read about regardless of any other information.
