Reading Bad Blood & am struck by how it inverts the usual story of women in male-dominated industries: she's built up by powerful men (Schultz, Mattis, Kissinger) & even when presented w/ evidence of her shadiness & incompetence they still stand by her

I know it is only one data-point & is an outlier at that, but reading about how George Shultz put his trust in Elizabeth Holmes *over his own grandson* really rubs against the idea that men in the aggregate conspire against women to keep them down.

You could tell a nuanced story about Shultz’s patriarchal feelings towards Holmes and highlight the degree of complexity that women face in navigating male-dominated spaces. But most of the people who say they want a discussion of privilege, don’t. They want to tell faery tales
