(1) Mary Zuckerberg? (2) In what way is this related to the article. His wife is a recent medical school graduate and it's not known yet what her future work plans are. (3) Zuckerberg has not been cited for being either uncommonly progressive or uncommonly sexist in his views on women in the workplace. What does he have to do with the questions raised in the Atlantic article?

No, if the person who founded Facebook had been a female graduate from the Ivy League, do you think that Facebooks history to date would have been the same. The temptation (mine anyway) is to say yes, and prove what a well balanced fellow I am. But I ask further down if you say yes, why yes? I noticed that the real Mark got married and I did not even know he had a relationship. But I swear if Mary Zuckerberg, billionairess, famous Internet entrprenuer had been engaged the whole world would know his face, shoe size and that famous Oprah interview ... So the media would have been different for sure. Would that have mattered? Just questions to get at our own filters

  Celebrities of both sexes have choices to make regarding how much to downplay their private life. Some celebrities are very good at keeping their families mostly out of it. Others are not. I am not so sure that's a gender thing. My marriage was a very private matter and we both protected it from prying outsiders.

  "I did not even know he had a relationship." That was pretty widely known actually. Here is an article randomly picked from 2009: http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerbergs-private-photos-2009-12 http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerbergs...

  Ah, I misunderstood - your subtle question made me think it was a typo.

When doing (1) probably best to put quotes around the object. Edit: I mean the parent, not you. Sorry. Italics are obviously correct.

  In this case, I think using something like Marcie instead of Mary would have made it more obvious/clear that it wasn't just a typo.

    Right, the situation that just a single letter was changed was what confused me.
