My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

"Women have been discriminated against for too long in a twisted interpretation of the word of God. Male religious leaders have had an option to interpret holy teachings either to exalt or subjugate women. They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the latter." Jimmy Carter RIP

The joke is @masieghart.bsky.social will be accused of being “bolshie” and “combative” for explaining her well-researched, coherent, (and frankly, correct) argument in a confident way.

Can you imagine Fiona Bruce stripping off in front of her crew, with only tassels to hide her nipples? Or Mishal Husain making sexualised comments to her researchers? Or Mel Giedroyc thrusting her groin at a young man wiping cake mixture off her trousers? My column in today’s @theguardian.com

Why do some men behave badly? I think I have the answer
From an early age boys are treated as though they are smarter and more talented than girls. It can lead to a damaging overconfidence

According to the Daily Mail, the world's gone mad. You can't even sexually harass a colleague at the Christmas party these days. Imagine being the Picture Editor who actively chose that photo!
