I agree. There is a group of people who hate women on Reddit, with an almost matching group of people who hate men. If she was a man and had attempted to explain what went wrong, I'm pretty sure I would have seen the term "mansplaining" thrown around a lot.
Very true! I was just throwing the term in because if the CEO was male, and tried to explain anything, I'm sure that would have gotten tossed around.
I have, however, seen far shittier parts of the internet where a lot of bile is summoned towards the male gender. Reddit has misandrists users side just as it has misogynists, and I have seen them posting.
EDIT: Reddit's community would be brutal towards any CEO who was in charge while things were growing screwy. Their gender just decides what slurs the assholes fall back on.

But "mansplaining" is a million times less hurtful than almost everything else that was thrown at Pao.
