Opinion: The dangerous deception of Sheryl Sandberg

Leaning In, Leaning Out: A Look at Sheryl Sandberg's Legacy

Once upon a time, Mark Zuckerberg and company started a little company called Facebook. Sandberg, who played a significant role in this venture, became a billionaire as a result. In 2007, the company's revenue was estimated at around 150 million US dollars. The following year, she joined the company. By 2011, the revenue had skyrocketed to 3.7 billion US dollars.

But Sandberg wasn't just interested in financial success. Recently, she's started talking about the challenges women face in the business world. Her solution: women need to take more leadership roles and advocate for themselves more forcefully, a concept she refers to as "leaning in."

After announcing her retirement as COO of Meta (Facebook's parent company), Sandberg has faced criticism over her feminist business philosophy, which she outlined in her book "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead." Written with co-author Nell Scoville, the book captures the spirit of self-assured optimism that dominated the American business and political culture during the Obama era.

A decade later, Sandberg's reputation has lost some of its luster. Facebook has been embroiled in a series of scandals and controversies. Some have raised questions about the company's business model, which has transformed Facebook from the "golden boy" of Silicon Valley to the dystopian "big brother." The rise of intersectional feminism and the #MeToo movement has made the ideas in "Lean In" seem naive at best.

But reducing Sandberg's career to a tale of hero to villain is oversimplified. Her story offers an insight into the American culture and politics of the late 1990s to the mid-2010s. During this time of unbridled optimism, leaders like Sandberg came to believe that liberals could use capitalism to become staggeringly wealthy while making the world a fairer and more just place. Her failure underscores the limits of this vision.

In the early 1990s, Sandberg worked at the World Bank alongside her mentor Larry Summers, who had just been appointed as Chief Economist. There, she worked on health projects in India, including fighting against leprosy and AIDS. She returned to Summers in the late 1990s, when he was serving as Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton. Her focus was on international debt relief as a means of stabilizing development during the Asian financial crisis.

From there, she moved to Google, a rapidly growing company with a corporate motto of "Don't be evil." Techno-utopianism swept through Silicon Valley in the 2000s, and as developers founded the companies that would shape our online habits, some corporate leaders saw an opportunity to rethink their company's culture. Their offices became not just flexible and fun, but companies that could make the world a better place without the negative consequences that American businesses have faced for over a century: exploitation, manipulative practices, and decisions that put profit over people.

This belief in progressive businesses that practice ethical capitalism created an aura in Silicon Valley in the 2000s. It's no wonder that Obama's 2008 campaign capitalized on the idea that visionary young progressives could reinvent old institutions to make money from companies like Facebook.

After Obama's election, Sandberg joined Obama's Employment Advisory Council, which brought her into close contact with the president. Both are institutionalists who believe they can reform institutions with their ideas, innovations, and presence. Sandberg, a rare female leader in Silicon Valley, and Obama, the first black president, saw themselves as agents of change.

However, both have faced criticism, particularly for their optimistic analysis of society's problems. For Sandberg, it manifested in the scathing criticisms of "Lean In" from critics like Bell Hooks, who accused the book of being the foundation for the exclusive capitalist form of "pseudofeminism" in the communist system. "Sandberg effectively uses her racial and class privilege and power to promote a narrow definition of feminism that obscures and undermines visionary feminist concerns," Hooks wrote in 2013.

"Lean In" remained popular during Obama's presidency, as was Facebook. But just after Obama left office, public sentiment turned against both. An investigation by The New York Times revealed that Facebook executives, including Sandberg, had done little to stop Russia from using the platform to influence the 2016 US election, despite knowing about Russian election interference.

At the same time, the MeToo movement highlighted a fundamental problem: women should stop focusing on how men perceive their progress and instead work harder and more strategically to advance their careers. While MeToo focused on sexual harassment and violence, it sparked a broader conversation about intersectional feminism and the limits of corporate feminism, areas where Sandberg has taken a position.

Enrichment Insights:

• Sandberg's book "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead" has faced criticism for its elitist approach, lack of representation, corporate infusion of gender equality, and failure to address racial and economic inclusivity and systemic issues.
• Critics argue that Sandberg's focus on individual women's attitudes and behaviors overlooks the systemic barriers that prevent women from achieving leadership roles.
• Some have questioned Sandberg's willingness to "lean in" following the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal and her role in allowing Russia to use the platform to influence the 2016 US election.

Despite the criticism, Sandberg's legacy remains an important touchstone for understanding the American culture and politics of the late 1990s to the mid-2010s.

Both are institutionalists who believe they can reform institutions with their ideas, innovations, and presence. Sandberg, a rare female leader in Silicon Valley, and Obama, the first black president, saw themselves as agents of change.

However, both have faced criticism, particularly for their optimistic analysis of society's problems. For Sandberg, it manifested in the scathing criticisms of "Lean In" from critics like Bell Hooks, who accused the book of being the foundation for the exclusive capitalist form of "pseudofeminism" in the communist system. "Sandberg effectively uses her racial and class privilege and power to promote a narrow definition of feminism that obscures and undermines visionary feminist concerns," Hooks wrote in 2013.

"Lean In" remained popular during Obama's presidency, as was Facebook. But just after Obama left office, public sentiment turned against both. An investigation by The New York Times revealed that Facebook executives, including Sandberg, had done little to stop Russia from using the platform to influence the 2016 US election, despite knowing about Russian election interference.

At the same time, the MeToo movement highlighted a fundamental problem: women should stop focusing on how men perceive their progress and instead work harder and more strategically to advance their careers. While MeToo focused on sexual harassment and violence, it sparked a broader conversation about intersectional feminism and the limits of corporate feminism, areas where Sandberg has taken a position.

Enrichment Insights:

• Sandberg's book "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead" has faced criticism for its elitist approach, lack of representation, corporate infusion of gender equality, and failure to address racial and economic inclusivity and systemic issues.
• Critics argue that Sandberg's focus on individual women's attitudes and behaviors overlooks the systemic barriers that prevent women from achieving leadership roles.
• Some have questioned Sandberg's willingness to "lean in" following the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal and her role in allowing Russia to use the platform to influence the 2016 US election.

Despite the criticism, Sandberg's legacy remains an important touchstone for understanding the American culture and politics of the late 1990s to the mid-2010s. Her story highlights the challenges and limitations of trying to use capitalism to promote equality and fairness while making a profit. It serves as a reminder of the need for a nuanced and intersectional approach to feminism that addresses both individual experiences and systemic issues.

As we look back on Sandberg's legacy, it's important to recognize the challenges and limitations of using capitalism to promote gender equality. Her story serves as a reminder of the need for a nuanced and intersectional approach to feminism that addresses both individual experiences and systemic issues. No matter what comes next, it's clear that Sandberg's impact on American business and politics will be felt for generations to come.

Sandberg's journey offers valuable insights into the complexities of using capitalism to promote gender equality. Whether you view her as a hero or a villain, her legacy highlights the challenges and limitations of trying to achieve that goal. It also underscores the importance of taking a nuanced and intersectional approach to feminism that addresses both individual experiences and systemic issues.

In the early 1990s, Sandberg worked at the World Bank alongside her mentor Larry Summers, who had just been appointed as Chief Economist. There, she worked on health projects in India, including fighting against leprosy and AIDS. She returned to Summers in the late 1990s, when he was serving as Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton. Her focus was on international debt relief as a means of stabilizing development during the Asian financial crisis.

From there, she moved to Google, a rapidly growing company with a corporate motto of "Don't be evil." Techno-utopianism swept through Silicon Valley in the 2000s, and as developers founded the companies that would shape our online habits, some corporate leaders saw an opportunity to rethink their company's culture. Their offices became not just flexible and fun, but companies that could make the world a better place without the negative consequences that American businesses have faced for over a century: exploitation, manipulative practices, and decisions that put profit over people.

This belief in progressive businesses that practice ethical capitalism created an aura in Silicon Valley in the 2000s. It's no wonder that Obama's 2008 campaign capitalized on the idea that visionary young progressives could reinvent old institutions to make money from companies like Facebook.
