Mark Zuckerberg Wants More 'Masculine Energy' in Corporations. Here's What He Said

Mark Zuckerberg said the corporate world needs more "masculine energy."

Rating:

True

About this rating

Context

Zuckerberg did not use those exact words but did call for more masculine energy in corporations, saying they are "neutered" and are "trying to get away" from masculine energy, while a culture that "celebrates the aggression" has merits. He also said "you want feminine energy, you want masculine energy," while adding "you're gonna have parts of society that have more of one or the other. I think that's all good."

What the fuck Zuck? If you think aggressiveness is an exclusive male trait you need to check out the female of most species defending their young.

I'm a guy and I find his comment ignorant and offensive.

I don’t consider their energy to be masculine necessarily ... just narcissistic.

…. disinformation networks such as “Storm 15-16.” It is meant to cause divisions in society and
it is huge and > 95% made up crap that is promulgated in America on Fox, in the GOP, and on right
wing social media sites. Zuckerberg may be rich but he is a punk for spreading this codswallop.

12. Sorry about stereotyping, but sounds like he's getting a divorce

And he was part of the problem, but doesn't want to admit it.

"I bent over backwards to make it work, but it was all her, she said she wanted a partner, but she couldn't decide if she wanted a wuss to do what she wanted or a real man to take charge... women and their talking about things and wanting me to pay attention, and all those mixed up signals..."

How many times have I heard that from the bro-guys at work?

Again, not stereotyping, but indicating that a workplace should have "masculine energy" and "feminine energy" instead of, say, "active" or "thoughtful" energy shows a real issue with dealing with a potentially complex workplace environment to gender-centric marketing or a propaganda campaign.

13. I am sure it is their "masculine energy"

that causes Musk, Suck and Bozo to surround themselves with platoons of security personnel.

Social media has ruined America, because now, the stuff that would get you punched in the face if you said it in a bar, gets broadcast all over the world, and you don't even need to leave your couch.
