> I'm no biz-geek, I probably can't name a dozen CEOs. But for years, MM's name was called put in every critical mainstream headline about Yahoo, of which there were many. I do not believe that's an accident. I do not believe a man would have been treated the same way.

- Lagged2Death 10y agoFair enough to look for a counterexample, I guess, but here's the thing: I've never heard of Jack Dorsey. That's not surprising to me. I'm not a Twitter user and I don't read the biz-interest publications. Meyer's name (always the obviously-feminine "Melissa," never just "Meyer", just like "Hillary" rather than simply "Clinton") in contrast, was plastered all over the NYT and other mainstream outlets from the start. It's a subtle way of making the headline function as "lady CEO" without coming out and saying it.
