Sheryl took a break from overthrowing Western democracies and propping up Asian and Eastern European dictatorships to warn of a backlash.
“The secret to comedy,” Ms. Sandberg concluded, “is … wait for it … timing.”
she makes total sense; the current vacuum of policies is a recipe for chaos and possible disaster. anyone who listened to the takeaway (wnyc) heard a vicious ad hominem attack on todd zwillich by rebeccah carrol (because zwillich is white and male) that can only reinforce the biases of a segment of society that feels they are occupationally disenfranchised by ‘pc.’ even making an allowance for the obvious racism and misogyny, at the zero-sum (low end) of the employment scale, there is some validity to their suspicions.
Now that she is in a position of power, of course, she is going to name and shame anyone who she knows is trying to pull the backlash thing. Right?
Women have been told all their lives not to say anything by men. Now we have to worry about women executives doing the same thing? Warnings that one should not Rock the Boat until written policies are in place (which will never happen except in large corporations) are unproductive.
Many, if not most, of the women who have gotten ahead in corporate america have done so by behaving as much like men as possible. (Except for the behaviors that are “no-nonsense” in a man and “bitchy” in a woman)
News flash from the epicenter of Fake News. I got your backlash for ya. It’s against Facebook proper. Not it’s women or its men…FB as an organization that fucked me by good pushing Trump into office. Not only women but men have “danger in the workplace” …as in Facebook danger.
A follow on to her very vocal support to the ladies of Pussy Riot when they were jailed in the Russian Federation, right?..

Oh, I guess we all missed that…
Go away you useful fascist stooge!
OF COURSE, it will. Men will be afraid of interacting with women, traveling with women or otherwise treating them as equals and wives will be leary of women in the workplace and how they ‘tempt’ their men. C’mon. This crap has been going on for years and now they have a license to give into their ‘fears’. You can see the parallels in ‘politics’ and the bigotry of today. For those of us that fought this for 40+ years it’s infuriating.
That isn’t what she said. That isn’t even close to what she said.
