Why everyone needs to stop talking about Yahoo chief Marissa Mayer’s pregnancy
The flap over Yahoo Inc.’s appointment of a pregnant 37-year-old executive as its CEO is a surprising, and disappointing, rerun of Father Knows Best and Gloria Steinem footage from the 1960s.
Ladies (and gentlemen), the war has been won and the war was about giving women choices. The appointment of a new CEO of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer, should have been heralded as a great achievement, but a retro remark ruined the moment.
Feminism is about equality and choice, including the choice to waive maternity leave
It began when a CNBC “Oracle on the Airwaves” sniped that having a first child was a lot of work, did she realize that and did the board of directors who appointed her realize that? The insinuation was that she could not devote herself to the company and its shareholders.
Significantly, the remark was made by a guy and not by one of the network’s high-profile female anchors. It smacked of paycheque-envy.
lots more cowshit here;

Re: Why everyone needs to stop talking about Yahoo chief Marissa Mayer’s pregnancy
New generations, new ways to keep re-fighting the war. In whose interest is it, truly, that the clash between genders over each other's values and status be sustained and constantly reinvigorated with new alienating bitterness? This is another example of that Star Trek thing where the cloud keeps the Klingons and the earthlings evenly matched and constantly embattled.
The gender war sells advertising. Period.
Ordinary folks need to stop being so reactive to media hypnosis and make up our own minds.FloatyBoaty likes this.skype: techno.skept

Re: Why everyone needs to stop talking about Yahoo chief Marissa Mayer’s pregnancy
I think the point of this is the the fact that they hired a pregnant board member who is being paid astronomical wages,only to possibly take time off.
