'female wunderkind,' in an irrational, razzle-dazzle bullshit train like theranos was probably emphasized to create an aura of exoticism and magic (e.g. 'wonder woman'), not because of the sociocultural situation of women in tech broadly speaking. I didn't even consider this. You're probably right. Well, in that context, it was obviously absurd for me to start talking about any of this. Sorry about that. But HN is optimized for good conversation, so hopefully it will turn out interesting (if unexpected). Looks like this thread got knocked off the front page anyway, so it doesn't really matter now. Drat; I was hoping to get people's thoughts on this.
