While many American men and women attempt to get by week to week with their
inadequate paychecks, women on average have learned to & # 8211; or
humiliated in & # 8211; feel happy for women with millions or billions of
dollars. Sheryl Sandberg used Facebook COO, for example, is supposed to be
a cause for celebration among the women cleaners, the nurses, cashiers and
others working for something close to the minimum wage.
My success is women s & # 8221 success !; says a new (but very, very
small) generation of women leaders. Books like Sandberg Lean would have you
believe that the key for women to be happy literally look the tiniest
proportion of other women up the ranks of chief business executives and
other members of the board .
Therefore, one of the greatest con jobs in modern society is the extent to
which feminists will focus on the representation of women among the & lt;
0.1% and perhaps & lt; 0.01%. Forget that the general male dominated lazy
SAT scores of high school (and also the majority of mentally disabled), the
greatest moral imperative for men and women of our time is to increase the
number of so-called women who run businesses Fortune 500.

Arrogance motivates these calls Horn is amazing. In no case does to
alleviate the pressures of daily normal women, including any mortgage
stress of raising children on only $ 20,000 per year. In fact, it only
exacerbates these problems, convincing many that they get actually
something to feel happy for Sheryl Sandberg and others like it, while
simultaneously depriving them of the energy to challenge and overthrow
their own poor situation.
By turning the conversation to make about & # 8221 sorority; when it is
really about themselves, the more affluent women, many had childhoods rich
can avoid questions why so many women are at the bottom of the
socioeconomic totem.
How influential women came from privileged families?
The father of the disastrous former CEO of Hewlett-Packard Carly Fiorina
was an Ivy League law professor. Women with privileged childhoods were
over-represented in the Fortune 500 for decades.
It never ceases to amaze me how all women are grouped together when it
comes to talking about the representation of women, particularly in areas
such as corporate boards. The socio-economic backgrounds of many women
managers and # 8211; or other highly paid women and # 8211; are generally
not high.
For all the talk by feminist intersectionality, the idea that white women
or rich suffer less oppressive than non-white women and poor, little
attempt to reflect on their own funds or those of their posters girls
darlings. Two of the most well known female executives lately, Sheryl
Sandberg left and Republican Carly Fiorina, both are from financially well
placed families. Many others come from the same ivory tower pedigrees.
With privileged families having roughly the same number of girls as a son,
the advantages of wealth and social status flows more or less equally to
female children. No one has ever properly explained to me how the daughter
of a multimillionaire or connected public figure will be more difficult in
the world of the business professional or a man of the middle of lower
middle-class wireless network. Yet that's the narrative constantly pushed
in the throat, that all women face more obstacles than all men, no matter
how trust funds have been created or how many schools the $ 40,000 per year
daughter of Professor Ivy League or wall hedge fund manager, were present
street.
Meanwhile, in the real world & # 8230;
This girl is supposed to jump in joy because Sheryl Sandberg and 0.0001% of
women have hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, or are on the
boards of Fortune 500 companies.
Like dreams of winning the lottery, dalliances Media about the
representation of women on boards of directors or the need for a new thrust
Elizabeth Holmes does nothing to help the average woman, let alone the
person or an average family.
If you want a manual definition of narcissism, Sheryl Sandberg is it. To
the extent that I support a free market in general, in no case largesse or
profile of Sandberg or Fiorina & # 8221 trickle down; grounded cleaning
women of our floors, sounding our groceries, or storage to store shelves.
This has nothing to do with the common struggles or professional dreams and
everything to do with some individual women's self-aggrandizement and
desire to create a cult around them.
