Which woman do you think would make a valuable target?

Any national politician or major CEO.

Name a few candidates that are worth being targets.

For politicians, it's quite rare they fall for it - men or women. I can't off the top of my head recall any American one in the last few decades.

For CEOs ... My question stands.

Uh, Lisa Su? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Su

OK. Honest question: What is the value of targeting her? What could they get from her about AMD that's so important?

She's CEO of the #2 GPU maker.

They targeted the CEO of the #1 GPU maker.

if you google it you will see its not true other than men holding the majority of positions of power

You just don't hear it as often because there are far fewer females in such positions. But they try to go for all tiers of power and use honeypots of both sexes. It's well documented if you do a basic google search, look up Romeo Project, KGB swallows and ravens concept. Male honeypotters are under-representation in mainstream culture due to the sexist notion that only men can be seduced by sex and women somehow do not.

I mean, one reason for why we don't hear about male agents targeting powerful women is the sad fact that there aren't that many powerful women around, when compared to powerful men.

Patriarchal social structure makes this sort of an attack more common against men than women.

Almost all the CEOs of top companies by marketcap are straight men. But even if that wasn't the case I think men and women are wired differently when it comes to pursuing after sex so your strategy would have to be different.

The audience who pays for porn is almost exclusively male for example. Male porn stars usually cater to a gay male audience even though straight women outnumber gay men by a huge margin.

If you look at literotica however, it flips and it's more of a female audience.

Innate female hypergamy. It makes no sense to use a high-positioned male spy in order to catch a way less valuable woman. The whole point of spying is to use less to get more.

Newsflash: men and women are different
