"The comment reflected some pretty old-fashioned ideas about how women gain power and status in society: by marrying into it. Zuckerberg gently suggested the commenter rethink this idea and instead encourage her granddaughters to 'be the nerd' and become the next great inventor. Be the nerd you wish to see in the world. It's a fantastic affirmation for girls who grow up reading stories where the boys are the ones on hero's quests and the girls are there to fall in love with them. And it's a necessary one to repeat over and over again if we as a society want to help women and girls succeed in STEM fields." - @Voxdotcom What's your response? #MediaWeLike #AskHerMore #MarkZuckerberg #Facebook #nerd #GirlsWhoCode #WomenWhoCode #LikeAGirl #STEM #STEAM #NewYearsResolution #PersonalChallenge2016
