How many other female CEOs can you name? And how many of those are portrayed negatively even infrequently or regularly bashed in comments?

Mary Barra made $22.6 million, more than all the male auto CEOs. I haven't really ever seen much bashing of her personally.

Elizabeth Holmes was a media love story until it all came crashing down, although she was a founder/CEO.

Agree about the cesspools though.

Lisa Su of AMD is another female CEO I can think of. I don't think I've seen anyone bash her. I mean she is extraordinarily competent and has 3 degrees in EE to boot.

Jessica Alba to add another. It's so easy to not be taken seriously but her Honest company is now valued at $1 billion.

Here's a list of about 30 female CEOs of S&P 500 companies. Most are not generally familiar names.

Meg Whitman of Hewlett Packard is another female CEO (and before her, Carly Fiorina). Both have certainly come in for their share of criticism. So would I, if I had to be responsible for HP.

Ginny Rometty takes heat pretty regularly, but is basically successful.
