Mark Zuckerberg . Marc Andreessen . David Sze . Jim Breye . Peter Thiel . Notice anything about these epithet ? They ’re all attached to penises ! The advocates at womens ’ group UltraViolet are not pleased with Facebook ’s board of directors — and they ’re protest thisafternoon .
The grouping delineate itself as “ a community of women and men , press to amplify women ’s rights and combat sexism everywhere – from politics and government to medium and tonic culture . ” Facebook must fall into that mathematical group , because at noontide today , UltraViolet is protest and shake off off a reported 53,000 name orison for more women on the board , direct up in Facebook ’s Manhattan position .. And more would intend anything less than zero , at this point . Why ? Because a society that makes money from women should have some char in commission , suppose UltraViolet :
Facebook is motor for the most part by women who make up 58 % of its users and are responsible for 62 % of the communion that happens through Facebook net .
This spring , Facebook will go public — when it does it will be one of the largest company in the earthly concern . And despite the fact that cleaning lady are creditworthy for most of Facebook ’s gross and action there presently is not a exclusive woman on their board .
This is untimely and we ’re joining a big campaign to get Facebook to fix it . Can you sign this orison ?
They ’ve got a dear period . Buuuuuut — as AllFacebook rightly betoken out , the display panel may be dude - ridden , but the 2nd most powerful person at Faceook — and arguably one of the most powerful in Silicon Valley — is Sheryl Sandberg . Sheryl Sandberg does not have a phallus .
We ’ll monitor the dissent once it happens . [ UltraVioletviaAllFacebook ]
