I mean might hope the requirement to provide said meta-analysis would fall on the person making the claim that the criticism is sexist, not on the person saying it might not be?
I was not saying it might be, I was stating the premises on which it would be, while also stating that, since we can't claim it either way we should refrain from speculation.
GP then suggested we could claim something, and I pointed out the requirements for that, thus putting the onus on them for making the suggestion we could.
Dude in this thread itself people were riffing on Steve Jobs, one of the most successful CEOs in the history of America. In light of such a thing, I am inclined to think your call for proof is disingenuous. You are asking for a meta analysis of something which might be possible but nobody would do it.
Again, I wasn't asking for proof, I was saying it's pointless to pass judgement without it. I called you out for wanting to do so without anything to back it up.
No you are disingenuously setting the bar too high. I gave at least one example of a male CEO being criticised but you are not even willing to update your beliefs slightly in face of some evidence.
No, it's not evidence in either direction, it's an anecdote.
Also, even if it was, there's actually no one criticizing Jobs in the 12 search hits in the thread, but comparing him favorably. So an unfortunate anecdote at that.
