Starbucks ceo is richer, and a ~~men~~ man, we should make more memes about him.

and a men

Man

Men

And why would he desserve more memes if he's a man ?

Every difference in treatment between two people based on gender is sexism

My idea is that: 100 billionaires make bullshit with their private jets: I sleep. Taylor swift make buillshit with her jet: Real shit?

We are only clowning on the women billionaire and ignoring all others who do similar shit.

(and about the men vs man thing, english is my second language, I meant man)

The glaring difference to me is that Taylor tries to project an image of being a better billionaire. And, in a lot of ways, she IS, so it's more glaring when she shits the bed with something as dumb as a private jet. She does philanthropy, she fights back against the music industry's bullshit, she's even pretty outspoken about the climate, but she can't ground her jet unless absolutely necessary?

She's still a billionaire. She still sucks. But she does marginally better than the rest. Now step up the rest of the way. Until then, criticisms are valid.

Regarding man vs men, the singular vs plural doesn't matter. It's that none of this is gendered. Starbucks CEO (I think it's telling that I don't respect him enough to know his name) sucks. Gates sucks. Buffet sucks. Swift sucks.

it's the gender bias in attention paid.

when was the last time you thought about the ceos of GE, boeing, Home Depot etc., who have been doing the same shit for decades.

She treats her people decently, something I really can't say for a lot of other billionaires.
