Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs
roadsidewildflower@midwest.social 3 weeks agoThis is what you get when you put someone in charge who was raised and educated inside India. This is not India and we dont want it to become like India.
I think we can acknowledge this man’s poor behavior and systemic misogyny in India without painting over a billion people as unqualified to lead or as dangerous to our country’s cultural character. I have several of friends raised and educated in India, now living in the US, who are quite feminist–almost certainly more so than the average American citizen, especially given near half of Americans will vote for a sexual predator for the third presidential election in a row.

What you dont get is that people aculturized in this stuff see their abuses as good and righteous. Just like 80 years ago in the US husbands thought it was just fine to spank their wives if they werent keeping the household the way they wanted it, and thought of it as teaching them proper upbringing. I dont want anyone raised in a regressive culture in charge. The ideas of an exeutive leader filter down through the org they lead a lot mroe than you’d guess they would.
