There's a Tumblr, 100 Percent Men, circulating right now that highlights all the organizations that are led, and have historically been led by only men.

Created by Lydia DePillis, a staff writer at the New Republic, the site is meant to bring awareness to how far our society is from true gender equality. DePillis doesn't offer much commentary, beyond a description at the top of the site: "Corners of the world where women have yet to tread. Shine a light."

Rebecca Greenfield at The Atlantic writes that "DePillis says she had 'no proactive intent' when creating the site, the natural order of things suggests awareness will facilitate change."

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg discussed the issue of gender equality in her controversial book, "Lean In."
