Instagram Co-Founders to Step Down From Facebook
The two co-founders of Facebook Inc.'s popular Instagram app are stepping down, a move marking continued tumult at the social-networking giant.
The co-founders—Kevin Systrom, Instagram's chief executive, and Mike Krieger, chief technology officer—clashed with Facebook executives over the extent of Instagram's autonomy in recent months, according to people familiar with the matter. Earlier this year, Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg shifted a senior Facebook executive, Adam Mosseri, over to Instagram in anticipation that the founders might leave, one of the people said.
Among other things, Facebook officials, including Mr. Zuckerberg, clashed with the co-founders over growth tactics and how to more rapidly expand the photo-sharing app's user base, another person said. Senior Facebook officials had known the two men were frustrated working within a large company and had begun making preparations for them to leave, another person familiar with the matter said.

The English language reflects a very important historical fact about humanity: Males are disposable, and society works best when females are put atop a pedestal so that young men have something to fight wars for. This is even the case among Muslims, who believe that Islam requires a woman to be covered in public not because she's worth so little but rather because she's worth so much, and her honor must be protected.
Traditionally, males don't qualify for the angelic description "she". Feminism isn't bringing females up to the status of males, but is rather pulling females down to the status of males, and it's making everyone confused and irritable. Young men no longer have anybody to impress with their achievements, and women no longer get a pass for their relative ineptitude.
