As a tribute to our own dear Baked who, when not living up to her screen name was often to be found marrying gay men, I offer this brief guide for all you gals considering a similar choice.

First off, we are dealing with broad strokes here, people. By ‘gay man’ I don’t mean some 22 year old hardbody who has legally changed his name to his grnder profile.

Title: “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead”

“Author”: Sheryl Sandberg

Rank: 12

Blurb: “Sandberg is the chief operating officer of Facebook and is ranked on Fortune’s list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World. In 2010, she gave an electrifying TEDTalk in which she described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers.”

Review: “The best message to take from this book is to be aware of what is going on in the workplace. Take the opportunity to change the inequality.”

Footnote: Acknowledgements, page 175: “My deepest thanks go to my writing partner Nell Scovell.” As noted by the fucking brilliant Jesus Christ, Silicon Valley, Sandberg’s “writing partner” is nowhere else listed as co-author (or, more likely, ghostwriter). The real message of the book? Hog all the credit to yourself.
