Verizon closes $4.5B acquisition of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer resigns
&gt;My observations are that I typically see a female CEOs income be the first thing that is ever brought up when they are in the spotlight but I don&#x27;t ever see that as the first go to with male CEOs.<p>I don&#x27;t know where you&#x27;re getting that from. Like I said, CEO compensation has been a big issue for years. It comes up all the time when a high-profile CEO is fired - especially if they are fired for doing a mediocre or a terrible job.<p>So I cannot believe you actually went there on this issue and in light of countless articles and podcasts discussing this matter from all angles, from the right-wing, mainstream, and left-wing media, and all you could see is that women (one woman specifically - because you haven&#x27;t given any other examples) are unfairly singled out.<p>Jesus, just google it - you don&#x27;t have to dig too deep. Change the search criteria to this year, and then last year, and then the year before, etc. And you&#x27;ll have countless examples.<p>&gt;In this case, I&#x27;m referring to reading HN for 7 years everyday and watching comments in response to all articles as well as the ones about female CEO<p>You are aware of what confirmation bias is, right? Turning this around, if Marissa was man, all things being equal (as in the compensation and level of criticism), would you have even bothered commenting? Would you have disagreed with any criticism in this thread?<p>&gt;I&#x27;m not overlapping my perceptions of reddit with HN on how reddit treated both Ellen Pao and Sheryl Sanders (she devil, satanist among other things are names they endured upon their first week in office).<p>And you just did so don&#x27;t pat yourself on the back too much. And you&#x27;re right, it has nothing to do with this case.<p>&gt; Unfortunately, I did not see Apple jumping into back the notion of childcare needs years ago When Marissa was chastized for having a nursery in her office.<p>I&#x27;m not sure what the point of that dig at Apple is but I remember the Marissa&#x2F;nursery controversy well. And this a good example of your dishonesty or maybe your blind-spot. Marissa was chastised for her hypocrisy. She banned working for home - a policy that was very popular with new parents, but then built herself a nursery - just for herself - so she could bring her kids to work because unlike everyone else, she worked hard. Of course people will criticize her.
