“Hi, I’m equality Barbie!”
Google Images has helpfully provided a perfect representation of gender discrimination.
The Verge recently noted that in order to find just one woman on Google Images when you type in “CEO“, you need to scroll four pages down.
Four. Pages.

So who is this empowering woman, this amazing woman in leadership that appears on Page 4?
Barbie. It’s f***ing Barbie.
In case you’re wondering, it takes seven pages to find a non-plastic representation of a woman CEO.
Women in business, take note.

Pretty sure that close up shot of the person holding a "chief exec officer" sign is a woman? She comes before Barbie :)
Google Images does not "pick and choose" which images show up where; it is based on what is available and most "popular". Male CEOs far outnumber female CEOs currently; I'm not saying that it's right, but that's the case! The first comment also has a point: this will equally be the case for female-dominated jobs.
