Does It Matter That Carly Fiorina Is Female?
from the the-debate-continues dept
To be honest, I've never heard this question come up anywhere except in various news articles... but there have been a bunch of articles wondering if Carly Fiorina receives more scrutiny for being female. I haven't noticed that she gets particularly more press than any other CEO of a major corporation (other than articles like this one I'm linking to), but I also haven't been counting or paying that much attention to the matter. We've discussed this before, and people suggested that she has been receiving more attention because she wanted it that way and has been known to promote herself and crave the attention.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
