    A decent photo of Marissa Mayer.

    Also, she actually does have feet.

    Dear assholes making comments about Marisa Mayer’s looks:

    This is not good. Clothes, maybe. But comments about her face and body?

    Also, it seems you do this only or mainly when it’s about a woman. So stop being sexist.

    Cheers,

    @iplaudius: She's actually pretty cute in most pictures. This one is just a bad pic.

    Regardless it IS true that this really only happens with posts about women.

    You know that this is only because everyone making these comments is God's gift to beauty, right?

    @iplaudius: Well, I'll make no judgments about Marisa's face or body. But when men are short, or bald, or have small penises, women are all too happy to joke about these facts as though men choose to be hairless, short and poorly endowed. More importantly, the attitude is one of laughable fault, as though, had they studied more in high school, they too would have fit the standards of the women discussing them. I'm not suggesting that patriarchy doesn't exist and that we should try not to be douchebags when discussing women. All I'm saying is that, women do it all the time.

    @Hey_mikey: Sure there are women who do this. It is no where near as prevalent as the boy's sneers toward pretty much any woman who isn't a supermodel ..and even some of those.

    I may have misspoken when saying it ONLY happens when it is about women.

    Everyone has opinions but I really believe most women handle the dissemination of those opinions much better than most men.

    Either way it is annoying. I hate people who "people watch" in real life just as much as I dislike the people who do so through the Internet.

    @iplaudius: I swear valleywag used to go out of their way to post derogatory stories of female silicon valley execs, who always happened to be blond.

    The posts were like crack for sad cubicle farm tech worker-bee guys with chips on their shoulders and nothing cleverer to say than "show us yer tits"

    @Hey_mikey: The point is, on this site, these types of insults are far more frequently hurled at women.

    Perhaps it is to be expected when the subject is a woman such as Julia Allison, whose interest and social identity are in large part defined by her appearance and sexuality. Mayer, by contrast, is interesting because of what she is doing with Google.

    People rarely go after men of Mayer’s professional stature—or, if not stature, notoriety. I can’t recall a pattern of looks-based insults in, say, the comments on articles on Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin, Rupert Murdoch, or, for that matter, Luke Russert or George Stephanopoulos. That is the sexist bias: people tend not to make such comments about men, but they frequently make such comments about women like Marisa Mayer.

    There is an exception: male subjects typically get criticized for their looks only when they draw attention to their looks or sexuality: e.g., Scott Brown, John Fitzgerald Page, and Paul Janka.

    Stay turned for my piece on Sandcank Tigers, where I detail the women who try to get men who wear sandals with cankles to attempt to get to second base with them only to have them get rejected and cry like the vulnerable, cankle-having, sandal-wearing sissies they are.

    I like the double wordplay. It just works: "He," check. "Heave," check; it does frequently induce nausea.

    I don't understand where that term came from. Is it supposed to be "heavage" like a manly heaving chest? Or is it really supposed to be "he-vage" as in he's a he? Because the latter seems more childish and sorority-girl, and would appear to better fit this topic.

    I am hardly one who keeps up on every new fashion trend, though that's tempered by living in Los Angeles and seeing them happen early on in the overall gestation period... BUT, isn't the whole man cleavage thing about three years old at this point? Why is it reaching media saturation at this exact moment? Is it a second wave?

    Nevermind. I'm retarded and this was covered in the post.

    @snugbug: That is horrible. Though I have wondered why pubes haven't worked their curly selves into more trends. I keep expecting to turn on the Oscars and see Nicole Kidman with a big patch cut out of her gown.

    Meanwhile, I think Devendra needs to either show the brillo or the happy trail, but not both. Both feels like the first and last pages of a novel printed side by side.

    @ejcsanfran: Ha! That's hilarious--in retrospect, of course. It reminds me of one of my exes, an adorable, brilliant writer who lived in Eagle Rock--just the cat's meow, really--except I had to gift him a Trader Joe's gift card so he could buy groceries. Mind you, I couldn't just "buy" the fucking groceries for him, which I would have done with all my love; that would have been "humiliating." So I had to go through this ballet of hypocrisy whereby I gave him a $100 Trader Joe's gift card for Xmas, and be all "La-de-da.. Happy Christmas, sweetie!"

    He's still brilliant and now no longer broke. Unlike me.
