  • Facebook COO: Women should marry women
    By Emil Protalinski | April 9, 2012, 8:35am PDT

    Summary: Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg says a woman should make sure to marry the right man, or even better, a woman. She says that way, the workload is divided more equally.

    Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, a mother of two, believes women should marry women. In exceptional circuмstances, they can marry men, she said during a recent Makers interview (excerpt embedded above).

    “The most important thing — and I’ve said it a hundred times and I’ll say it a hundred times — if you marry a man, marry the right one,” Sandberg said. “If you can marry a woman, that’s better because the split between two women in the home is pretty even, the data shows.” She didn’t elaborate on her source.

    Unlike men, women feel guilty for working full time, according to Sandberg. Furthermore, they are liked less the more they succeed. That’s something that needs to change.

    “I feel guilty when my son says, ‘Mommy, put down the BlackBerry, talk to me’ and that happens far too much,” she said. “I think all women feel guilty. I think what’s interesting is I don’t know many men who feel guilty. I don’t know a lot of men who feel guilty for working full time, it’s expected that they’ll work full time…I wonder if there were more shared responsibility if more men would feel guilty too and women would feel less of it.”

    Sandberg didn’t exactly follower her own advice: she married SurveyMonkey CEO David Goldberg. We can presume though, that he’s the right man.

    For years, Sandberg has been leaving at 5:30 PM so she could be home for dinner with her children. She recently started saying this publicly in the hopes of encourage others to do the same.

    Sandberg, Goldberg.  :scratchchin:

    A Chinese man and his Jєωιѕн friend were walking along one day when the Jєωιѕн man whirled and slugged the Chinese man and knocked him down.

    "What was that for?" the Chinese man asked.

    "That was for Pearl Harbor!" the Jєωιѕн man said.

    "Pearl Harbor? That was the Japanese. I'm Chinese."

    "Chinese, Japanese, you are all the same!"

    "Oh!"

    They continued walking and after a while the Chinese man whirled and knocked the Jєωιѕн man to the ground.

    "What was that for?" the Jєωιѕн man asked.

    "That was for the Titanic!"

    "The Titanic? That was an iceberg."

    "Iceberg, Goldberg, you are all the same."

  • More reason for me not to join Facebook...
    Please ignore ALL of my posts. I was naive during my time posting on this forum and didn’t know any better. I retract and deeply regret any and all uncharitable or erroneous statements I ever made here.
