914 Words4 Pages

Lean In Analysis Sheryl Sandberg’s article, Lean In: What would you do if you weren’t afraid?, has every piece of the communication triangle to make a well written paper. She has a good ratio of logic, emotion, and ethics that support her thoughts on men vs. women. She adds her own personal experiences that make her more trustworthy, and the logic behind her paper is valid. The only flaw in Sandberg's article would be that there is no opposition and that’s a key element in a paper. However; despite not having an opposition, Sandberg still makes herself a trustworthy author. What makes Sheryl Sandberg a trustworthy author is that she has a lot of logical points, due to experience and statistics. Using her experience with school and …show more content…

Her main argument is that women are just as good as men and they shouldn’t be afraid to break social and cultural norms. The only opposition she seems to have is using the fact that men and women are biologically different and are treated differently while growing up. She claims that because girls and boys grow up being treated different this is the outcome of how they react in society. She then goes on to refute, saying how a song changed the way young children think about the toys they play with and how she hopes by playing that same song to her children they will understand that it’s okay to be rebellious and break social norms of men and …show more content…

The reader has one view on the situation and it’s through a woman's eyes and how she experienced trying to be a successful woman despite everything telling her she couldn’t. Her take on what society calls a woman to be is true, we see this through the example of young girls having to buy pink things and boys getting toys that are “masculine”. Someone can read her article and agree with her on a woman being ambitious and wanting that leadership role; it is not something to be ashamed of and as a person,not just a woman, it’s okay to go after that

Instead of using prejudice or stereotypes, where negative thoughts and attitudes are created and shared, she extends it to the level of discrimination and racism. Although instead of calling it racism, she uses “eyeism”, as she is discriminating on the basis of eye color rather than skin color. She calls all white men “boy”, she interrupts them when they are talking and she talks to them like she is superior. She uses the racism, prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination black individuals have experienced for hundreds of years and turns it around on the white

A lot of her argument is around how men have made women view these subjects (women, birth control and sex) she states " The brunt of this injustice falls on women, because the old traditional morality is the invention of men.... In the moral code developed by the Church, women have been so degraded that they have been habituated to look upon themselves through the eyes of men,". Singers work is greatly affected by her bias since that is one of the main points of it, that women are injusticed by men and to gain freedom they need to know themselves, express themselves and by realizing themselves "more completely than has ever before been possible". The critics of her argument is largely the Catholic Church that believe birth control and sexually activity other than for reproductive means to be

In her 2013 book “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead,” Sheryl Sandberg argues the stance that people need to take initiative and “Lean In” throughout all aspects of life. Sandberg takes the stance that women deserve equality in the workplace, women in leadership roles, and high political roles. Sandberg acts as a launching pad for Rosa Brooks and Elizabeth Bruenig, who analyze and argue her stance, because Sandberg’s writing gets the conversation started. Brooks and Bruenig take different ideas and points from Sandberg to form their own persuasion of why “Leaning In” may not be the most ideal approach. They also use Sheryl Sandberg’s title in their articles because it acts as their hook and catches the audiences attention to consider their point of view.

If I were to live in the 1970s, I would have been apart of every feminist movement ever held. This type of writing inspires me, but also angers me as it most likely did to some women when this was written. I think this piece is brilliant in the way that it presents its message. The general population in America during the 70s may not agree. They may see it as a rebellion amongst women instead of a cry for equality.

This theme relates to the real world because gender inequality is a problem that has been faced throughout history. In many cultures in the past, women were in-charge of domestic work while men took the roles of public life. Be that as it may, both men and women took equally important roles; however, because of the longstanding gender bias in the world, the roles of men in society were glorified more than the roles of women. Today, gender inequality still exists in the world. Specifically, today’s women are faced with sexist comments and attitudes from men that put women down.

Women have less to say about what they need or want but they have to pay much and also to face the results when the men around them botch.

Over the past 40 years defenders of women’s right have worked hard to assure growth of women's careers, trying to contest what is attribute as ‘the glass ceiling’ which is the invisible barriers that control woman from rising to top positions in corporate context.

In her widely watched 2010 TED talk “Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders” (currently with more than 1.5 million views) Sheryl Sandberg, currently Chief Operating Officer of Facebook (and the first woman to serve on Facebook's board) and formerly Vice President at Google, shares her experience of being one of the rare women in top global management positions and offers advice to women who would like to succeed in their corporate careers. In the 15-minute video, Sandberg asks how we can fix the problem of having too few women in top leadership positions in spite of many advances in women’s rights being made. She argues that the solution lies with women themselves, as individuals, and the messages they need to tell themselves and their daughters. This entails three steps: (1) ‘sit at the table’, meaning women should negotiate for themselves more assertively and stop underestimating their abilities; (2) ‘make your partner a real partner’ and establish shared/equal responsibilities between partners at home (i.e. with raising children and housework); and (3) ‘don’t ‘leave’ before you leave’, which means continuing to work at the best of your abilities (i.e. ‘leaning in’ instead of ‘leaning back’ when the possibility of having a child is entertained) until
