Yahoo’s New CEO Marissa Mayer Having A Baby In Four Months

On his radio show July 18, 2012, Dennis Prager said: “She is going to have a baby in October. Employers are not allowed to ask a prospective employee if she is pregnant or planning on having children.”

“My favorite line in the WSJ article is this: ‘No Yahoo directors expressed concern about her pregnancy.’ Maybe that is part of the reason Yahoo is in trouble because they have such a board? It’s according to her that none of them expressed concern.”

Mayer says she worked 90 hour weeks at Google. That’s six days a week, working from 7 am to 10 pm.

“There are three things in a married working woman’s life — wife, mother, work. If you work 90 hours a week, when can she be a mother and wife? On the seventh day?

“That this did not matter to Yahoo?”

“You’ll notice that it is never pointed out that there is this third role. It’s always motherhood and career. It’s never pointed out that it is juggling motherhood, career and being a wife. For feminism, the role of being a wife is old fashioned.”
