I enjoyed this article until the closer at the very end: "Having boobs and running a business is exactly the same as having a penis and running a business, except boobs are more aesthetically pleasing. I hope, at minimum, we can all agree on that." Female CEOs are exactly the same as male CEOs, except women are more aesthetically pleasing?

>except women are more aesthetically pleasing No, you put words in her mouth. She believes boobs are more aesthetically pleasing than penises.

  So, the original point still stands, but on naked CEOs.

    Not necessarily. I might find long hair more aesthetically pleasing than boobs or penises. She's merely compared two different body parts, which in our culture are more than not covered by clothing in business matters. Let's not get too distracted by the last sentence of her article. There's more substance in the paragraphs preceding it. EDIT: For anyone that misses my point about hair, men and women can have long hair.

  She's not wrong.

I also felt that closing line was unnecessary and actually detracted a bit from the thrust of the article. It ironically felt a little tone-deaf to me. (1) I don't really like being shamed over having a penis. I don't really like being told that my genitals are ugly. (2) It's known from the outset that not everyone will agree with that statement (e.g., many gay men). (3) Is taking a small jab at all men, even the ones who are not part of the problem, really the best way to end the article? I don't think it's a big deal, though, and I'm happily willing to overlook it for the sake of the rest of the article.

  Excellent points.
