What do you think she had to overcome to get her position? You're suggesting people in the industry make it hard for women? She didn't suggest she's been discriminated against, so why assume she has?
You're right, I shouldn't assume that she had to overcome any additional obstacles just because she is a woman. But let me say that it wouldn't surprise me if she did. I also didn't mean to suggest that it would have been any type of overt discrimination.
