That also stood out to me. She is just changing already not-original look from trying to be more attractive to be more serious. I really don't understand how this is interesting enough for full article.
- dagenleg 9y agoIt's an article about sexism and women complaining about sexism. This topic seems to be really trendy on Hackernews, judging by the shitstormy comment threads articles like that always generate.
- lucozade 9y agoIt's most probably a placed piece. It's unlikely that it's coincidental that the article is a diversity story about someone who runs a company in the diversity field in a news outlet that is currently running a diversity campaign. Also, sexism in SV is topical so her coming from the Bay area probably helped. I might be being too cynical but I doubt it. I mean, it's the BBC. They hardly needed to cross the Atlantic to find blonde women who dye their hair to avoid unwarranted attention. In fact, I know a Swedish lady, who worked for the BBC for a while, who does this regularly.
- toomanybeersies 9y agoThis thing happens yearly as BBC runs their BBC 100 Women series. As much as I love the BBC for their news reporting, their gender diversity reporting tends to be very contrived.
