Why group the two women together?

Not that I think either are competent

They're the only board members who aren't notable. After the ousting the board consisted of a prominent CEO in D'Angelo, a prominent researcher in Sutskever, and Toner and McCauley. It's a grouping of two randos, not two women.
Didn't you just answer your own question?
You have three people, one of them is at least quite well known to the outside world, or at least his / her company is well known along with an ex Facebook CTO title.

You have two people left, we have no idea what he / she is, their work are not public outside of specific domain, and no Public / PR exposure to even anyone who follows tech closely.

Those two people we group them together. And they happened to be woman. ( At least we assumed their gender ). And we are now being called sexist? Seriously?
