I&#x27;m afraid she&#x27;d still have to face speculations that she got the job by sleeping with her predecessor :-(<p>EDIT: of course I don&#x27;t find it fair! I&#x27;m just afraid that the same misogynist reflexes, which erased her from YC&#x27;s public history, would have lead to try and disparage her promotion as president.<p>Of course agan, that&#x27;s no reason not to promote her; but it would have to be done with the appropriate PR strategy, to defuse such speculations.
