There were also (complicated, at least to me) tax benefits towards owning Alibaba. But the U.S. tax authorities clipped said benefits which diminished Yahoo's share value.<br /><br />I got a LOT of flak on social media when I supported a headline about Marissa Mayer taking a SECOND maternity leave earlier this year. The headline was about how Marissa Mayer likely avoided getting fired by announcing her second maternity leave. She avoided it since a company can't fire a woman about to go on maternity leave! <br /><br />When my female Facebook friends explained to me (woman-splaining?) how it was sexist, they said it was sexist because such a headline would not apply to a man.<br /><br />I said, well of course that wouldn't apply to a man, the man would effing get FIRED without a maternity leave preventing that!! <br /><br />i'm not alonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830949294679547966.post-31077524683960202352016-07-24T04:17:28.349-07:002016-07-24T04:17:28.349-07:00Add Marissa Mayer to that list.

Her track record at Google was less than stellar, which should have dampened any enthusiasm weren't it about the fact that she has a vag, which she used to fuck Larry Page with. Yahoo was struggling before she took over, and she has done little to improve things, which only further demonstrated that she was a poor choice. But, hey, as long as we get more women in we're bound to succeed, amirite? (Note for idiots wanting to comment on Yahoo: that company's worth is almost entirely due to their shares in Alibaba. Yahoo itself is roughly in the laughing stock category and has been shopped around for a fire sale price.)Aaron Sleazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704230661761052919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1830949294679547966.post-6490766138611723832016-07-23T12:57:25.241-07:002016-07-23T12:57:25.241-07:00Great post Aaron.

A general rule I have is that you have to be very sceptical about finance , business and investment gurus who get a lot of press, especially the ones that seek out celebrity. Whether male or female, usually their energy is devoted to their image and their media releases. Donald Trump and Kevin O'Leary are good examples where they have an image of being business titans and the reality falls short of the hype.<br /><br />Given that we are all about diversity, we obviously need a few female business "titans" to round out it out. Tilton sounds remarkably scary, both personally as well as in terms of investing in her. Another good example of a female celebrity CEO where the reputation is at odds with the record is Carly Fiorina.

Now its more important - in times of exaggerated feminism - to call out bullshit women claim on the media and take a shot at this.
