[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here...this is what she says about my criticism: "I know some believe that by focusing on what women can change themselves-pressing them to lean in-it seems like I am letting our institutions off the hook. Or even worse, they accuse me of blaming the victim. [b]Far from blaming the victim, I believe that female leaders are the key to the solution."[/b]

Why not our male leaders? Why not the female rank and file? It's like she thinks only people like her are the solution. [/quote]
I've posted this before, but it bears repeating.  Statements like these would hold a lot more water if she were able to demonstrate that Facebook is some kind of leader in creating a positive workplace for women.  As it stands, it seems at least just as unwelcoming to women as all the other SV giants.

Thanks for this and the previous post.  Never saw that STEM campaign, but wow that's awful.  Maybe a way to get more women to stay in STEM is to ensure stuff like this never, ever happens again:

and there is no STEM crisis,  there are plenty of STEM US workers,  Facebook just wants to hire cheaper workers.

There is in fact a surplus of US workers for STEM:
