This reminds me of Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes. I have to wonder how she may have received criticism of her ideas if there was a baseline of equality of ideas from men and women.

Basically, to over-simplify severely, instead of taking criticism as a way to improve, she took it as an attack, which I think was part of what made Theranos insular, overprotective. It would be a bridge too far to link it to the cheating.

I think that's too speculative. I haven't heard her publicly talk about sexism in a way that would make me think that's how she views the world.

I've looked a little bit, and I'm not going to defend my assertion very hard, because I don't truly believe it or it's implications very much; it's an interesting question to me.
