She couldn't prove sexism in court. Twice now.

Why would you defend false allegations by Pao? They hurt women that actually do experience it. They also give more evidence to the fact that women do use the system to get rich quick by suing in hopes of getting a massive settlement.

She should be condemned and her claims should not be used to demonstrate sexism, which is what you're trying to do.

This crosses into personal attack. You don't have anything like the basis you would need to credibly post such inflammatory claims, so this comment breaks the HN guidelines. We ban accounts that do this, and I'm sorry to say you've done it repeatedly in the past. Please fix this if you want to continue commenting here.

What exactly is a "personal attack" here? I posted widely published information. There's even a link.

Obviously you went beyond facts into making an unsupported claim about motive.
