From my understanding, Susan is well respected within the SV community, and obviously from Uber's response she struck a nerve. I understand what you're getting at, but I think you're ignoring a lot of context.

- padraic7a 10y ago> tnones :That's a really oppressive patriarchy we live in, when a single blog post with no evidence and only hearsay is enough to spike a massive protest and boycott... > jonathankoren : What was his point? It's an insinuation that the patriarchy doesn't exist, or is toothless based on the fact that one woman's story sparked a protest against Uber. Which is of course a stupid point. One swallow doesn't make a summer, one exception doesn't disprove a rule and of course any complex system can have exceptions, contra tendencies and still have a dominant character. No one said that patriarchy works like a totalitarian state, crushing anything and anyone which doesn't adhere to a strict set of rules.
