Wow, I kind of feel bad for Holmes now. Seems like she really got taken advantage of and got romantic love interests confused with how to properly run a company

  Which, if true, is super annoying seeing as she was held up as an example that bucks the trend and stereotypes when it comes to women in entrepreneurship.

  How did she get taken advantage of? She commited a billion dollar fraud. All of a sudden just because there's a guy in the picture it's all his playing and she was just a pawn? Don't you think that's extremely patronising?

    I'm speaking as someone who went through an emotionally abusive relationship. I think you're significantly downplaying just how impactful shitty role models and power dynamics like this can be.

      > I think you're significantly downplaying just how impactful shitty role models What you said would make sense if we knew that she had him as role model. THEN you could make the case that role models are important and claim that I downplay their importance. But we don't know if she had him as role model, so again you're guessing. I could just as easily make opposite guess: do you know how easy it is to manipulate men by dangling sex in front of them?
