Hashtag Activism and the Lie of 'Solidarity' | Dare To Be A Feminist | Scoop.it

Women are the Real Power Behind Social Media | Social Media Today

Women are the Real Power Behind Social Media | Social Media Today | Dare To Be A Feminist | Scoop.it
From socialmediatoday.com - May 28, 2014 11:34 PM

Never underestimate of the power of a woman, especially when combined with social media. From the number of active users on a social network to the frequency of their interaction with other users and brands, women are a powerful force in the social media realm. Curious how much power women hold on social media? 


Take a look at the infographic below from Finances Online for some possibly surprising statistics. While it is well-known that women dominate Pinterest, they also outnumber men on four of the other top six social networks: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr. However, men continue to account for the majority of LinkedIn’s users. In addition, 30% of women use social media multiple times a day, while only 26% men report using social media sites several times a day...

From jezebel.com - May 28, 2014 9:36 PM
It was late Monday night and, knowing full-well that I had to wake up early for work the next day, I was buried deep in the Twitter hashtag #YesAllWomen, reading story after story of the aggression women face in their daily lives. Soon, it was early Tuesday morning and I was still awake, still reading.

Tell Facebook to Bring Women To The Table

Tell Facebook to Bring Women To The Table | Dare To Be A Feminist | Scoop.it

Fifty-eight percent of Facebook users are women. Sixty-two percent of shares on Facebook are done by female users. How many women are on Facebook’s board of directors?

 

Zero.

 

For such an innovative brand, Facebook is distinctly behind the times when it comes to gender equity. Only 11.3 percent of Fortune 500 companies had male-only boards last year. Google, Microsoft and LinkedIn each have at least one woman on their boards. A recent survey of Fortune 500 companies found that those with three or more women board members outperformed those with fewer or none, achieving an average of 53 percent greater return on equity. Why wouldn’t a man as intelligent as Mark Zuckerberg adopt a business strategy that could increase his profits by half?
