Even though I empathize Francoise Brougher's experience, I don't think this has much to do with gender bias. First, reading the article again, one can completely replace the gender points and the entire argument still holds. This is just typical company politics and employees vs founders vs senior leadership fights. I doubt the author may also know this but just use gender bias to catch eyes and align with the main stream discussion about gender inequality. Second, how do you know Ben and the other two executives are men? They could be LGBTQ. What if Ben and the other two men stood out and declared themselves as female? Did the author have gender bias?
