Good looks are great. Even helpful. But when a brainy CEO agrees to be photographed like a mannequin thrown to the ground, it’s an insult to women and the men who admire them.
Would Mark Zuckerberg pose like this for GQ? Exactly.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer posing for Vogue’s September issue.
I definitely don't understand this. Sure, I have somewhat latent dreams about getting all dressed and done up, whether I'm in a powerful position or not, because I think it sounds like fun to me. But I think it should reflect me as a woman, not as a prop for a magazine. :( Sad to see this, I remember being so happy to see her become CEO and while pregnant too!
Thanks for your sentiments, Kharla. Prop is exactly the right choice of words. Be well. ~ Alison
