VP of sales and marketing of a 54B valuation company tends to have a bit more scrutiny so this doesn't really seem apples to apples. That aside, perhaps they didn't like her and it had nothing to do with gender?
- jacquesm 5y agoPerhaps they did, or perhaps you are dragging in your own prejudices here.
- greenail 5y agoAnything is possible. The difference between us is that you are starting with the arguably paranoid assumption that "the patriarchy" is the root of the problem and I'm starting with the Occam's razor assumption they simply didn't like her.
- jacquesm 5y agoYes, and I have a piece of evidence: the article, and you are just making stuff up.
- garmaine 5y agoThe article by itself is not evidence.
- jacquesm 5y agoNo, of course not, she's making it all up. /s
- garmaine 5y agoMaybe she is, maybe she isn’t. Maybe she earnestly believes it but is misconstruing what actually happened. We don’t know. But her account is just that: one account, which is intrinsically subjective and biased. When verifying the validity of an account, you don’t get the hold up the account itself as evidence. That would be begging the question.
- jacquesm 5y agoThis is pretty typical, if a woman writes up an account about what happened to her at her workplace there will be all kinds of characters trying to discredit her. The golden rule is: unless you have evidence to the contrary at least give her the benefit of the doubt, the vast majority of these cases are bad enough without people trying to muddy the waters with a 'both sides' approach. No executive in their right mind commits career suicide by relating such an account if it isn't true, and someone who managed to climb to the top of an automaker can be assumed to be in their right mind.
- garmaine 5y agoDid I try to discredit her? I did not.
- greenail 5y agoI was talking about they guy's wife at the sporting goods store. Regarding the article, I offered my opinion. I made nothing up.

- dang 5y agoYou've posted a bunch of generic comments in this thread that are generically dismissive of the topic. That makes for low-quality discussion, so it would be better to find an article that gratifies your curiosity and comment when you have something specific to respond to.
