[quote=Anonymous]What she has done is devalue all the very real issues  woman face as CEOs of their families and make it ok
to accept the status quo, to not challenge a male domimated work culture; she cosigned on leaving that culture exactly as it is and gave proponents of said  status quo the excuse to not have to change a damn thing.

[quote=Anonymous]Sheryl Sandberg has done squat to improve workplace culture to make it easier for both men and women to balance having lives and having jobs.  But, I guess, she did get some people talking who wouldn't otherwise.

I posted this in another thread, but if you'd like to have a rich lady who knows all the right people to look up to, you should also read Anne Marie Slaughter's book for an alternative perspective.  Ginni Rometty, CEO of IBM, is also pretty impressive and an actual engineer.  There are several other fairly impressive business leaders on the 50 Forbes Women list.

I mean, I guess I don't dislike her except for the accolades people pour on her make me feel ill.  OTOH, part of the problem is that there are so few perspectives from female C-level executives, she probably gets more scrutiny and criticism for the parts she misses than she deserves.[/quote][/quote]
