Ellen Pao tried to institute some level of restraint to the worst of reddit's subreddits, and then got forced out. I suppose it would be correct to characterize what happened to her as also being driven at least partly by sexism, but that doesn't really make the premise of this Holmes essay any more correct.

No, you don't understand: she was the chosen one, the one who was supposed to bring balance to the force become a billionaire without divorcing after decades spent as the wife of a more successful man or being its daughter. It was "her turn" or some nonsense. It's far more important for rich white women to feel on equal footing with their male pair (99.99999% assholes) , then for poorer women to have access to abortion, don't you know.

Yeah. The Silicon Valley “fake it til you make it” and “throw infinite gobs of money at it until it works” can usually produce a real product, if maybe not one that would ever be profitable beyond market valuation, but turns out it breaks down hard when you throw it at disrupting things that are impossible because they “defy physical science as we understand it” rather than “this was always possible just nobody ever wanted to spend the gobs of money to do it til now”

Yes, she would be. The whole thing makes no sense. It's like they put her gender up front hoping it would hide the whole non functional nature of the blood machine. It's extremely stupid.
