Eh, Patil of India was allegedly pretty corrupt, using government money to build a retirement home among other things. Park Geun-Hye (S. Korea) was jailed for corruption. We’ve had corrupt female corporate heads in the US, like Elizabeth Holmes. I’m not trying to butwhatabout at all, just that people in power are susceptible to corruption and fuckery regardless of being a woman or man. Per-capita, women are probably better, they’ve often had to work harder than men to reach higher office and don’t want to give anyone more fuel to muckrake on them.
dont think holmes count, and also its based on mysogyny why corporation put females as ceos just before the company is failing or collapses, there was aterm on reddit someone explained how the male BODs place a female in charge so she takes the blame for it. She dint become the ceo on her own, it was with another man is the reason why she was there in the first place.
It’s called the “glass cliff”
I don’t think Holmes qualifies for a pass, but yes, women can be used as the fall guy for corporations in trouble.
yea that was the term im looking for, dint want to sound like the comment came from a sexist source.
