    No billionaires are self made, it’s a key thing to maintain awareness on. Each billionaire has started with an enormous starting advantage in some form. Either family connections or starting wealth. It’s not a straw man, it’s real, and the issue isn’t gender at all. It’s a distractive red herring from the fact billionaires shouldn’t exist in the first place. Going down the rabbit hole of how men have a predilection for sociopathy, enabling them to be complete fuckwads with no care for humanity and only fucking others over is the semantic. Look at Bezos’ ex-wife and how she’s giving most of the money away, because the ethics may exist for women in general making the notion “being a billionaire” precluded from the majority of females.
