#RuthBaderGinsburg's family finds awarding the #RBG #WomensLeadershipAward by the #OppermanFoundation to #ElonMusk, #RupertMurdoch, #MichaelMilken, #SylvesterStallone, and #MarthaStewart an affront.
They say it #dishonors the #memory of the #late #SupremeCourt #Justice.

"Opperman Foundation cancels RBG award ceremony that would have honored Musk, Murdoch after family’s outcry"
So, they cancelled the *ceremony*, but did they cancel the *recognition*? 🤔
The fact that the #OppermanFoundation considered it appropriate to grant an award originally created to honor women to *any* man is pathetic. But to grant an award named for #RuthBaderGinsburg to #ElonMusk and #RupertMurdoch is *beyond* pathetic. Even though #Opperman has now reconsidered, this farce illustrates how deeply #sexism remains ingrained in the U.S., even this far into the 21st century.

The #RBG family is pissed, saying in a statement that the #OppermanFoundation, which grants the award, “has strayed far from the original mission of the award and from what Justice Ginsburg stood for.”
