I came here to suggest this. Don't try to fix it, just let it die a miserable death and ruin the careers of everyone it touched.
It's not "full-throated" advocacy to not ignore sexism entirely. And no, it's not counterbalanced — her personal success does not provide leverage for her blindness.
I've heard that the medical condition known as "Gender Blindness" is comorbid with "Sisterhood Dissociative Disorder" and "Selective Bootstrapping Recollection Disorder" (colloquially known as "GOPpox")
And now for some news regarding the mayor of a major metropolitan area that won't make you want to tear at your…
Yesyesyeyes. This is exactly what I think. I think she wants to be excluded from discussions about gender, I thinks he wants to just be the Yahoo CEO and not the Female Yahoo CEO (which is a fair desire).
