She was a token female exec much like Sheryl Sandberg. Unlike Marrisa Mayer, these empty pantsuits have accomplished absolutely nothing and are merely part of the feel good lib movement to empower women. Once the figures are tabulated it’s clear the good press for having women in power is offset by the dead weight they bring to revenue. Good Riddance.

Battle Beast,

Thank you for your excellent demonstration of why we need more women in business. They don’t feel the need to score cheap points by playing to people’s sexual bias.

With a comment like that perhap a more appropriate mask name would be “Battle Axe”.

Kindly,
