Great ep but I don't think it's right to say we didn't think of Zuck as a misogynist until recently - Fb literally started as a misogynistic project & THE SOCIAL NETWORK helped propagate that origin story far & wide! And the trailer featured a cover of Radiohead's Creep!! https://youtu.be/lB95KLmpLR4?si=rOltgINthb3f9v2O

I'm also not sure it's fair to say the film portrays him as a great genius – it ends w him repeatedly refreshing his fb page to see if his ex will accept his friend request! "If u guys were the inventors of fb, ud invented fb" is not presented as an amazing diss but as the mad reply of... a creep!

thought of something (it is quite vile) a day after listening to the pod

2004 Zuck beefs with Harvard Pres Larry Summers (Summers is a horrible man, but I am focusing on Zuck)
2006 Summers gets fired by Harvard for sexist comments
2007 Winter, Zuck meets Sheryl Sandburg

2008 March Sheryl Sandburg is now COO of Facebook. The #2 of the company.

In some peoples imagination (it creeps me out) taking the female apprentice / mentee of a person you used to beef with, a former authority figure. Well it is a dominance play much like Zucks former business cards which

was another kind of sexist, having a memorable subtitle which was yuck.

It was a great pod Moira and Adrian but god the whole company and this one man who is my age totally creeps me out.
