The BBC are reporting that troubled community website Reddit has lost another female member of its senior team with the resignation of chief engineer Bethanye Blount, only days after the resignation of Ellen Pao. The BBC report continues:
Ms Blount told website Recode she believed Ms Pao had been put on a "glass cliff" - or set up to fail. Victoria Taylor, who oversaw a popular question-and-answer section of the site, was sacked last month.
"Victoria wasn't on a glass cliff. But it's hard for me to see it any other way than Ellen was," Bethanye Blount said in an interview.
But Ms Blount, a former Facebook employee, added that her own decision to leave Reddit just two months after joining, had not been based on gender issues. And new chief executive, Steve Huffman, said he was "confident" that the site could recruit female executives.
The phrase "glass cliff" is used to describe women placed in leadership roles during times of crisis, when positive change is hard to achieve.

Despite the ongoing turmoil, Reddit is in good financial shape, according to Mr Huffman, also one of its co-founders.
"Reddit has a lot of cash," he said, in an Ask Me Anything session on the site.. "Monetisation isn't a short-term concern of ours."
The site currently attracts 164 million monthly users.

Ohanian is a greasy Armenian and behaving like shady used car salesmen is in his peoples' genes (as well as the genes of every other race in the Middle East.) It is to be expected of his kind. He'll tell you that Reddit has infared night vision and a jet engine if he thought telling you that would sell it to you.
As for Bethanye, her parents should be smacked in their mouths with rolled-up newspapers for cursing their daughter with such a stupid first name. If she hasn't already she'll team up with all the other big angry dykes who've written off their chances for getting dick and start a version of Reddit with mandatory multiculturalism, where straight white males and their privilege are forbidden.
