Her rap sheet and her actions were the things that brought her animosity from the users. I do not support the view that it was because reddit users obviously hate women, all women and since Pao is a woman, they must hate her too.
I think that position is inane.
Neither accusation had any bearing on her management of Reddit, and both are highly spurious. As far as I can tell, the entirety of the complaints against her are that her husbands hedge fund blew up and that she sued KPCB.. I'm glad that a mob of Internet trolls knows exactly what happened in both cases.
Have you actually read the Kleiner transcripts? She had better performance than many of her peers, faced actual harassment from senior partners but it didn't meet the threshold that the courts demand for her suit, so she lost. It was probably a good decision from the courts and she negotiated a settlement for not appealing -- this happens all the time.
I have no idea how any of this justifies literally thousands of people calling her racist and misogynist names.. And then having everyone of those comments upvoted to the hundreds or thousands of points. Talk about inane.
It doesn't matter whether you think your opinion of her is the right one. I'm explaining to you that the reason why redditors hate her is not simply because she has a vagina and redditors hate all women.
