It is wrong, because it’s makes it uncomfortable for women to be in power, or in the public eye.
Every time we allow it, it normalizes the problem, and perpetuates it.
She’s out there trying to make it harder for governments and corporations to abuse our personal data. We want to uplift THAT message, not reduce it to a discussion about her appearance.

I don’t really think that woman in power positions or in the public eye are that easily offended by a compliment (or an insult).

I get that. I only said that maybe to call misogyny a compliment on the look of a woman on top of all her other qualities maybe it too much. “she is really smart” and “she is nice looking” are not mutually exclusive in a discussion.
1 - It’s not just about HER. It’s all the other women who see her and see what’s actually being discussed in public about her.
2 - It’s NOT A COMPLIMENT. She’s not looking at this thread and saying “wow, I’m glad that dude thinks I’m kind of hot.” it’s a whole group of people having a discussion about a very important product on the market, and someone trying to start a side conversation about appearance. It has no business being in this thread, and it makes half the population less welcoming to the discussion.
