I don't know what she is talking about

Ellen Pao spoke to a group of people made up with men and women. A female founder was happy that Pao made eye contact with her.
The idea is that for a lot of people, when they're presenting to a mixed group they tend to look at the men more than the women. Pao is highlighting this issue because it's a simple one to fix that isn't asking much from people.
People who are upset with her tend to think that their experiences trump that of the many women who feel ignored in mixed groups.


Okay thank you, now it makes sense. I thought she was bitching about people making eye contact with her or something. I mean it is kind of true, it's the men investors that tend to have the most money, even my old accounting firm told me to pay more attention to the big money over the others when it came to presentations. I never listened to them and never gave those "big whales" preferential treatment (I mean you can see why I don't work there anymore).
