Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer led illegal purge of male employees, lawsuit charges
comments
This is very much against the values we hold at Airbnb. We aim to foster a culture where everyone can belong, and one of the ways we do this is with a commitment to fixing this problem.
And if there is a gluttony of good talent, why is unemployment at 4.9%? There aren't just a million people lining up... that aren't already at other companies. Think of this on macro level, not one company.
I would like companies to consider women as "people" instead of some poor minority group that needs help. For myself, I do not need other people's pity to get a job, and I would not be happy to take an offer if the company considers women as inferior candidates who can only get in with a lower hiring bar.
Finally, realize that women are indeed different from men (on average, at a median level, so there may be a minority of exceptions which we should embrace) in their brain structure and hence ability. Please help educate awareness and stop this B.s. narrative around gender equality.
