This deflates the whole "they are targeting the ceo because she is a womyn" narrative that started getting pushed this week.

This narrative drives me crazy. How did Pao get elected to be the figurehead for women in tech and business?

the old fashioned way: money and connections.
From what i can tell, she has mostly a finance background. Her husband allegedly has a lot of money, she came from a finance firm, so automatically she has flunkies and social climbers who want to get on her good side and sell this narrative that she is some sort of groundbreaking woman in a man dominate field.
This whole situation is frankly, odd, and the longer it goes on, the more questions get asked.
