There is just such a turmoil in the media over that saucy Yahoo chief executive Marissa Mayer. She went and got herself photographed by Vogue magazine looking like a sex symbol rather than a busy executive, wife and mom. We say it’s totally in the nature of “having it all” as Betty Friedan might have said. And who cares if no male executive would be photographed this way. Men and women are different you may have heard. Anyway, here she is on her escape-chute chaise lounge full of the “don’t bug me” attitude that prompted her to install a nursery in her office and tell employees they can’t work at home. The beast. Meantime, Ms Mayer is pulling off a huge publicity coup for her teetering last-century business. Yahoo never seems sure whether it should change its name to Yatter and limit everybody to 139 characters, or just retire from business. Marissa will figure it out.
