if you have to jump to sexism without any evidence then you need a better argument. you should do better instead of asking HN.

- Traster 7y agoThe evidence is right in front of anyone who reads hacker news regularly. You might have a different judgement, but it's not difficult to say that I've seen lots of articles on Hacker news where men in similar situations are regarded as go getters who have the balls to get stuck in and take a swing at the top job. She's a Principal at a VC, she's got two bachelors degrees (one in Economics), experience working in M&A and she was a board member. Yet somehow, despite knowing literally nothing about the company she was CEO of, Hacker News have decided not only that she was unqualified, but: > I dug a bit to figure out what space the company is in, so that I can avoid using their services if it was applicable. >Why on earth was this person in any way shape or form the person to step in? >How did a waitress become a VC? (Didn’t read the article) Despite that piece of information literally being a cheeky throw away line in the intro of the piece.
- skinnymuch 7y agoThanks for posting a mini compilation of comments. Pretty clear to me as well what the intent of a number of comments are when you’re reading through or even just skimming all the comments. My only other comment here is a push back against what I felt was a comment going too far the other way. But the amount of comments similar to the ones you quoted are far too much.
