There are plenty of male tech executives with equally poor track records as Mayer (David Marcus comes to mind), yet they don’t get this kind of treatment on message forums. Comparing Meyer to Holmes is like comparing David Marcus to Bernie Madoff. It just doesn’t make sense unless you’re seeing someone primarily through their gender.

If they had the same kind of media coverage they probably would. When I hear Tumblr I think of Meyer because we had dozens of articles covering that. I couldn't tell you what Marcus runs (Goldman Sachs' consumer-lending division?)
