This article criticizes CISA Director Jen Easterly's clothing choices, voice, time spent in public, whether or not she's "technical enough", how much time she spends building her brand, and I think CyberScoop should be ashamed of themselves.

Just because they had a woman write the article does not shield them from the utter viciousness in here. It is absolutely possible to criticize any government leader for the choices they've made and their successes and failures, but it is uniquely reserved for women to have their leadership metrics bundled with whether or not they're properly silent, modestly dressed, and deferential to authority like a lady.

Insiders worry CISA is too distracted from critical cyber mission

The agency appears to be struggling with internal divisions, morale problems and growing concerns about leadership priorities.

@Tarah @itisiboller Any time I see an article criticizing or commenting on a public woman’s clothing choices i immediately dismiss the article and the writer. There’s no place for that anymore.

@Rmogull @Tarah @itisiboller exactly the right approach to take. Don't engage with writers that resort to baseless tropes instead of thought provoking criticism. Aside from being lazy and infuriating, people reading articles like this actually want to read something thought provoking, that provides a reason to question assumptions.
