SHERYL SANDBERG, Facebook chief operating officer and corporate feminist mega-celebrity who has made more than a billion dollars on the social networking company and her best-selling campaign to portray the overwhelmingly masculine world of Internet technology as glamorous and amenable to female ambition, has pledged to join with other billionaires and give away half her earnings to charity.

Many of the recent news reports about Sandberg’s pledge refer to her as a “self-made” billionaire. No one is entirely self-made (Sandberg went to Harvard and worked in the Treasury Department under Bill Clinton). The idea that a person is “self-made” is just plain absurd, but among the people who “made” Sandberg is her mother, who gave up her own career ambitions in her early twenties to focus on her children and home. This irony is generally lost on journalists who hyperventilate over Sandberg’s success.

Sandberg will tell you that those who are like her mother have made a perfectly valid “choice;” in other words, taking care of one’s marriage and children is not at all a moral imperative. Like so many feminist revolutionaries, Sandberg has a way of making rank materialism and deadening sex equality seem romantic and exciting. She is the most prominent face of corporate America’s ongoing assault on the home, a subversive attack that is so very conducive to short-term profits and makes for willing slaves. Like so many Jewish female radicals, she cannot truly conceive, despite her token approval of those who make other choices, what it means to say that a woman is the heart of a home. Ironically, Facebook’s top executives remain predominantly male.

Here is Sandberg, who is divorced and “remarried,” on why there are so few women leaders. The interview is a rehash of her wildly popular and painfully dull book, Lean In, which probably has inspired more women to try and write best-selling self-help books than to devote themselves to becoming high-tech executives. (Little do they realize that Sandberg employed a professional writer.) Sandberg’s advice is laughably unrealistic. She once told women that they should marry women because then they can be assured of having someone who will share the chores at home, as if sharing the chores is a problem for someone who could employ the entire Third World to clean her kitchen. She believes that men can be turned into perfectly good mommies under the oversight of their executive wives. But more importantly, her advice is truly evil. She suggests that deep, natural instincts be ignored. She knows how to get to the heart of the matter — to the core where the true revolution takes place.

What can we expect of Sandberg’s new self-aggrandizing philanthropical ventures? Lots of feminist, government-supervised programs that will make many more women profoundly unhappy and encourage the dysgenic phenomenon in which the most intelligent have no or few children, offspring who are hyper-engineered and channeled into the cattle chutes of elite colleges while the society around them falls apart. In other words, this will not be charity at all.

This profile includes a description of Sandberg’s typical day. She is indeed a marvel of multi-tasking. Strangely, there is no mention of the many servants and aides who make this all possible:

Her days are a flurry of meetings that she runs with the help of a decidedly undigital spiral-bound notebook. On it, she keeps lists of discussion points and action items. She crosses them off one by one, and once every item on a page is checked, she rips the page off and moves to the next. If every item is done 10 minutes into an hourlong meeting, the meeting is over.

There is only one thing that makes such a dreadfully tedious and hectic life agreeable. And that is money.
