Gwynne Shotwell is a personal hero. She’s President & COO at SpaceX. “SpaceX has a female president?” Yeah, it does. If you didn’t know that, ask yourself why.

(By the way, the implication in Vance’s Elon Musk biography is that Shotwell lost interest in the auto industry because they wouldn’t let her keep playing with all the fun tools and liquid nitrogen.)

Basically, the coolest woman ever is a below-the-fold profile in Marie Claire. What fundamental failure of humanity is this?

Part of it is probably that Shotwell is too busy running a $20+bn rocket company to care about self-promotion. But *maybe* a contributing factor is that there are "better" stories to tell — for example, that her boss did not get laid at a party 6 months ago. Let us reflect.

Media coverage of systematic sexism is not why women don't get as much press coverage, it's part of solving the problem. Trying to pit these against each other is ridiculous.

Yep; it's a good thing that's not what I said.
