<p>All I know about Marissa is that she wears outfits that I’d dress my five year old daughter in (if I had one). And that’s enough for me. Wear a power suit! Or a power dress, don’t look like a little girl.</p>
<p>DrGoogle, please stop with the insinuations about politics and the “hidden agendas” you seem to see in my posts. How many threads have you had your posts removed from lately for this exact reason? </p>
<p>You can think whatever you want about Marissa Mayer. The industry (and the press) seems to feel differently.</p>

<p>“zoosermom, I was referring to the certain label of “conservative”, not feminist, addressing another post.”
I was using your post to reiterate my position in the other post. </p>

<p>This is kind of sad coming from you, busdriver. Why would you judge (and disqualify) a person on such superficial qualities? Would you want yourself or your daughter judged by what you wear or how you look? </p>
<p>That is the Alibaba effect. Since Marissa Mayer became CEO, she bought Tumbler, and a slew of other companies that are kind of stupid decision or her management decision has been mostly cosmetic affect. She has yet to prove herself. She has hired 4 top people that have not worked out as planned. I can’t say the same about the Facebook person, Sheryl Sandberg.</p>
<p>“It is obvious that people have different definitions of feminism. I’m not really sure if it matters how you define it or even if you identify as a feminist, to me, as long as you believe in equal rights for all.”
I believe with all my heart in equal rights for every human being. </p>
<p>Zoosermom, you get to choose. </p>
<p>Not that it matters, but I support that. </p>
<p>Have a good night.</p>
<p>Whatever, Dr.Google. And by the way, you are very likely violating the terms of use of Google’s logo.</p>

<p>You should. You benefit from their efforts every day of your life, in spite of your obvious contempt for them.</p>

<p>Oh. It’s sometimes hard to process what people are responding to.</p>
<p>“This is kind of sad coming from you, busdriver. Why would you judge (and disqualify) a person on such superficial qualities? Would you want yourself or your daughter judged by what you wear or how you look?”</p>
<p>I guess I should have put a smiley face on it. And I don’t have a daughter, but of course people are judged by how they look or what they wear. Especially women, that’s just reality. And anyone who wants to be taken seriously needs to dress for success. Would you feel as supportive of a high powered female CEO who wore low cut, see through blouses, no bra? I am very glad that for the last 30 years, all I’ve had to wear to work is a uniform, as I have zero fashion sense. But it is clean and pressed, and I don’t wear heels that I stumble around in. No heavy makeup. People get a bad impression of you if you appear sloppy or sleazy, so I suck it up and do what is necessary.</p>
<p>But Marissa Mayer’s style of dress (I admittedly have no idea what this is, having only seen head shots of her) has NOT kept her from being taken seriously.</p>
<p>ETA: OK, I just found a bunch of images of full-body images of her. She tends to favor clothes that are colorful and age-appropriate, yet businesslike (i.e., nothing too short, low-cut or otherwise revealing). I actually like a lot of her wardrobe. </p>
<p>I started this thread because of exactly the discussion that has occurred. I would love for it to remain open. So please do not turn it political or negative.</p>
<p>“You should. You benefit from their efforts every day of your life, in spite of your obvious contempt for them.”
The only contempt is coming from you, as well as dishonesty. You have some serious issues if a message board forum provokes this type of reaction.</p>
<p>"but of course people are judged by how they look or what they wear. Especially women, that’s just reality. "
That is the honest truth. There is currently a dilemma in my office on this topic. There is a woman who is brilliant, accomplished and incredibly talented. But she has a habit of dressing like a cheerleader with insanely short skirts and those thigh length tights. Sometimes her underwear are visible, but everyone is hesitant to tell her. But she is being judged for it, unfortunately.</p>
<p>Still “pro” after all these years.</p>
<p>Someone in my sister’s office dressed up as a “sl*tty cop” for halloween yesterday. She works in accounting. Now, THAT I wouldn’t do.</p>
<p>Currently reading “Florence Gordon”.
"A wise and entertaining novel about a woman who has lived life on her own terms for seventy-five defiant and determined years, only to find herself suddenly thrust to the center of her family’s various catastrophes</p>
<p>Meet Florence Gordon: blunt, brilliant, cantankerous and passionate, feminist icon to young women, invisible to almost everyone else. At seventy-five, Florence has earned her right to set down the burdens of family and work and shape her legacy at long last. But just as she is beginning to write her long-deferred memoir, her son Daniel returns to New York from Seattle with his wife and daughter, and they embroil Florence in their dramas, clouding the clarity of her days and threatening her well-defended solitude. And then there is her left foot, which is starting to drag….
With searing wit, sophisticated intelligence, and a tender respect for humanity in all its flaws, Brian Morton introduces a constellation of unforgettable characters. Chief among them, Florence, who can humble the fools surrounding her with one barbed line, but who eventually finds there are realities even she cannot outwit."</p>

<p>I saw her in the paper the other day in a little girl outfit and said, “No, don’t wear that!” But I really don’t know nor do I care what it is she wears. I was just making an offhand and obnoxious remark. Like usual.</p>
<p>How has this thread turned into a discussion of clothing? Is anyone noticing the clothing of male executives?</p>
<p>Just the usual, intparent. Someone makes an offhand comment about something, and a trivial subject turns into a conversation. Like most every other thread.</p>
