Gender matters because it was men who led the world into cold war (and most wars for that matter). Women helped bring peace. That is still true. Can you not see that?
Agreed, I just noted that a high-profile failure of a woman-owned business like Theranos just brings the closet misogynists out of the woodworks, including on sites like HN. Also my comment getting flagged is just a further validation of peoples unwillingness to consider the feminist angle on this. Sad.
Male-owned businesses have committed hundreds of billions worth of fraud over millenia (hello Enron anyone). This thread is nothing more than a bunch of bro-guys collevtively bitching about a woman doing it. I'm not condoning the fraud, but why's everyone extra salty about this one?
