    In her defense, Mayer owes her position at Yahoo to being one of the first few Google employees, and she remained near the top of the food chain for a reason. It's not like she didn't do real work, including some coding, in order to get to where she is today.

    She was a reasonable choice for CEO at Yahoo. It's quite possible her female-ness helped her get the job, but she was as qualified as any of the guys they might have considered.
