Feministing Bashes Yahoo CEO

What Marissa Mayer said:

I don’t think that I would consider myself a feminist. I think that I certainly believe in equal rights, I believe that women are just as capable, if not more so in a lot of different dimensions, but I don’t, I think have, sort of, the militant drive and the sort of, the chip on the shoulder that sometimes comes with that. And I think it’s too bad, but I do think that feminism has become in many ways a more negative word. You know, there are amazing opportunities all over the world for women, and I think that there is more good that comes out of positive energy around that than comes out of negative energy.

What Chloe said:

Mayer is a remarkable woman who’s achieved great things, and I’m sure there are more to come. But I don’t use the word “remarkable” there to mean “impressive” or “great.” I use it to mean “that which merits remarking upon, because it is rare or otherwise notable.” Mayer is a woman, and in the tech world she is a high-ranking and very powerful person. That is remarkable, in that it is rare or otherwise notable. And the fact that it is rare or otherwise notable is a sign that feminism’s work is not done, despite all those “amazing opportunities all over the world for women.” In a world where a hiring decision like this one is momentous, groundbreaking, trailblazing news, being a feminist is not having a chip on your shoulder. It is simply an awareness of reality.

And Marissa, it is too bad that feminism has become a negative word. You know what’s also too bad? Your failure to acknowledge that without feminism, you could never have become the CEO of Yahoo.

Marissa Mayer doesn

I guess they still can't tolerate differing opinions.

Quote from Bigger Brother

Even I don't acknowledge feminism for my success. I'm not giving anyone an opportunity to give themselves an unwarranted pat on the back for something that they had no part in.

I make my own succes through the help of God. I don't owe feminists a damn thing. Without feminists, this world would be a better place.

You know what, especially in today's climate? If I can't make it on my own, I probably didn't deserve it.

But theCHIVE loves her!

This 37 year old foxy new CEO comes directly from Google, and if you believe the buzz, she provides the hope and capability to turn the company around. Marissa Mayer was the vice president of location and local services at Google. She was one of the search giant’s top executives. And now I think she becomes one of the most powerful, and wealthy women ever to have a rockin’ body on her to boot.

Did Marissa run over one of Chloe's relatives or something? Because that's how she treats the poor woman!

"You know what’s also too bad? Your failure to acknowledge that without feminism, you could never have become the CEO of Yahoo."

What a dip shit!

It's always laughable when the feminist primates beat they're chests and scream "traitor" when any successful woman doesn't thank a government funded hate movement for their success.
