Really?!

She is one of the people most directly responsible for building Facebook into a massive surveillance / influence / control monstrosity and monetizing their abuses of their user base; and your problem with her is that she is an unabashed feminist?!

Perhaps it's that she's cynically wrapped herself in these values publicly in order to climb the ladder but then immediately turns around and acts in a way that's entirely incongruous with these stated values. The somewhat bothersome part is other people unknowingly take her seriously and promulgate seemingly popular false virtues to the determent of everyone.

Don’t discount people’s capacity for self deception. We all want to be the hero of our own story.

In any event we are judged by the totality of our actions, not a subset of our beliefs. Hitler was a vegetarian who wanted to ban smoking.

And, you do have to give it to him... he did kill Hitler.

obviously wrong, however the media seems to have given her a carte blanche because she brandished that feminist agenda. Never remember reading a bad review of her in major media. It's really remarkable
