Just finished listening to the interview and it was such a massive, massive disappointment. I actually wanted to hear what she has to say because she's Sheryl Sandberg, and I know she had bucked her tribe to speak out against the Hamas, so I was hoping for more. But gosh, where do I even start?

Just about every commenter has criticized her for still donating to Biden and voting for Biden. IMO all you laser focusing your criticism to her support of Biden is incredibly myopic. Your obsession with wanting Californians to vote against Biden is losing the forest for the tree. Firstly a handful of people no matter how influential or powerful voting is still just one vote per person and it won't make a iota of difference in CA. All it'll do is somehow make you feel better like it'd validate you. The bigger concern should be her donation.
But much much more frustrating is her stubborn refusal to admit liberals-led activists institutions are all corrupt beyond repair and it's time to abandon them. She reluctantly admit UNWomen (or more aptly now Unwoman) had been atrocious in its response to 10/6 (not to mention their endless LOUD demands for actual women to subjugate themselves and their rights to men cosplaying women). But SS doesn't even go near the line to say out loud we need to simply withdraw from UNWomen/Unwomen (and the UN for that matter but at the minimum the UNWomen/Unwomen). She still talks about Planned Parenthood like a sacred cow for women's rights when it's all but become a network of clinic doling out hormones to minors and their force-teaming of trans agenda with women's rights is a direct assault against women. Same with NOW, and all the so-called "women's organizations".
I'll commend her for making the documentary. But her stubborn loyalty to all these now anti-women organizations after she went on and on about how much she cares about rape as a weapon of war makes her delusional. And yes these are anti-women organizations now, they can't even say the word "women".
She identified a lot of the problems on how women are being shafted in the midst of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and war in general. But at the end of the day, she has no solution. All the commenters to TFP can identify the problems already. She hasn't said anything we don't already know. And maybe she can get some people beyond us to hear her out. But more than once Bari asked her how to get those other people to see, and all SS could come up with is to keep talking. The reason I tuned in was because I thought with her position and influence, she could maybe do more than the rest of us who can do nothing more than just keep talking. But she has no answer. She has no solution because she would not use her position and influence to truly cause a ruckus and make people see and turn things around. In fact the rest of us with no position and power are actually doing more because we will vote with our feet. She wouldn't even do that.
She said she wants people not to be divided into camps, but engage with each other and be less tribal and more mixed in our stances. But when pressed on the issue how we can achieve that when at the voting booth we're still stuck with the two-party choices, her gave an unbelievable answer of people should run for office themselves. Seriously??? She of all people who makes most likely large political donations should know that ordinary people have been completely priced out of running for offices except maybe at the school board level. Without either party's support, you would have to be a billionaire like RFK Junior to even try. Is she for real?
For all her intellect, she can come up with no solution. She just kept going on and on about how "we need to be more this" and "we need to be more that". I started hearing John Lennon's "Imagine" in my head. Yeah, imagine all the people living life in peace." Kumbaya. Yeah. That'll how we'll fix everything.
How about this, Sheryl? I actually think YOU can be the solution. Because you know who is someone like you who succeeded? JK Rowling. Rowling stepped up and decided she's willing to buck her own tribe to take a stand for what she believes in. She's willing to defect and put her money where her mouth is, and use her voice to speak loud and clear for all the people to hear. Yes she made enemies out of people who used to be her friends. But she made a choice to give no fuck because she knows she's right and she believes in what she's doing. In the US you could be our JK Rowling. Your friends will turn against you and perhaps you won't feel at home with those on the right, but you can wake up a large swathe in the middle and be the guiding light for the silent masses. But you don't have Rowling's galls and spine. You pale completely next to her.. You choose to remain beholden to the Democrats and the Left.
Sorry if I sound harsh. But I really had some hope when I tuned into the podcast. I guess the fault is all mine. I should know better than to have any hope or expectations for anyone who still identify themselves as liberal.
Oh and about what you said, that you now feel free to do anything and say anything. I dare you to say this publicly or post it to your social media: "A woman is an adult human female". Really. I dare you!
Mic Drop! Wow! This is what I was vaguely thinking about the interview without being able to effectively conceptualize it. Well said. SS isn’t willing to leave her zone to be effective.
