Yep, of all the billionaires, there are so many more men to choose from. So. Many.

I feel the reason she is being used as an example isn't because she's a female billionaire, but because she is a billionaire who receives adoration. The meme points out that even the "good ones" shouldn't be billionaires.

Rihanna is right there in the same picture and not a single person is commenting on her.

I don't think she is being used as an example - I think people hyper-focused on the image of her
and don't understand "no good billionaires" means not a single one - not Swift, not Rihanna, not Jay-Z,
not Selena Gomez, not George Lucas, etc....

I think the difference is that Swift is in right now.

You mean like Bruce Springsteen? Michael Jordan? Cristiano Ronaldo?

[–] kcfb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Yes all very current names lol.

and how many of them have such a large cult of personality? it must be nice, to be able to use gender as a shield from any sort of criticism.
