Not necessarily disagreeing, but if a male CEO was posing in a fashion magazine, he would get just as much criticism.


Missing the point: a male CEO wouldn't pose in a fashion magazine because that's not how we treat men.

See how peculiar it looks?


I'm curious. Googling reveals that these posts are fairly common. The funny thing is that there aren't any photos of women in stereotypically male poses. Is that because there aren't any such poses or because no one feels a need to try it out? I'd like to see if those look as ridiculous.


Mayer chose to pose in a fashion magazine. She wasn't "treated" any way in this case.


Really? Like Donald Trump on the cover of GQ? How much criticism did he get for that?


a. What's wrong with a fashion magazine? Vogue adds a metric ton more value to civil discourse than most business magazines combined.

b. Given the borderline-soft-porn treatment Elon Musk gets around here, I think we should collectively hold off on criticizing anyone for going overboard on such matters.


I think you're underestimating the amount of criticism she got. It's been pretty crazy.
