  I know that you aren’t smart enough to understand since it has already been answered, so I’m just putting this here for future readers before blocking you.

  Just because Noor claims that the reasons people are comparing her and Orchid to Theranos is sexist doesn’t mean that is the only reason. There is a grain of truth that women get more of a spotlight than men in the same situations, but this comparison is primarily about the business and science with a small sprinkling of sexism that gets it to the printed page. But people aren’t comparison apples and oranges, there are a ton of similarities about the business claims and how implausible both sounded from existing businesses that have credible reasons for their skepticism.

  It isn’t only sexism or even primarily sexism.

    Except there was zero reason to bring Theranos up other than them both having female CEOs.

    Can you please answer? Have you raped any children? It’s just that I’ve heard of a few men who’ve done that, so I wanted to ask.
