Marissa Mayer may bring new life to Yahoo! in more ways than just its stock price and product development. The Board of Yahoo! replaced interim CEO Ross Levinsohn with a pregnant woman from Google's engineering team.
POSTCARDS.BLOGS.FORTUNE.CNN.COM reports:She told Fortune exclusively that her first child is due in October.

If a man was pregnant yes it would matter as they aren't good at multitasking but a women can do it all.

I think it will matter. It may sound sexist, but most women when they have a baby, go into kind of a baby haze for a bit. They love to see, talk about, kiss, touch, eat, sleep and breathe baby. I think it will be very hard for her to stay focused on work when she has a beautiful new baby. I personally wouldn't want to have a high pressure job like CEO if I was pregnant or planning to have a baby soon. I wouldn't want to leave my little one behind.

As the pee gets all over the seat and wall and floors and the women normally cleans up after you. I thought you used can openers or are you able to do it without.

Thanks for showing that women can be more sexist and chauvinistic than men too!

How many toilet seats do you clean in your life time? Fact is just what it is. You weren't part of this playful banter back and forth so butt out.

Statement stands. Women are much better at multi tasking..that's just fact. It's part of the DNA. That's not sexist it's fact. Men are just good at other things. That's the make up of men and women.

If it weren't for a man inventing the toilet, you wouldn't have a toilet seat to sit on.

Any CEO has to multitask. Contrary to what chauvinistic women would like to think, women cannot multitask better than men. If they could, we'd see a hell of a lot more females in leadership roles. True, there are more females in leadership roles, but many haven't gotten there by themselves. Social pressure, political correctness, and quotas have artificially placed many women ahead.

BTW, if Mayer is successful, she can "do it all". You're a fool to believe that all women are capable of doing the same.

Oh boy! Sure, women can have children and sure a man couldn't handle the pain involved: just a guess. But women cannot produce sperm.

That has absolutely no impact on her intelligence or the abilities for which she was hired. Not a point even worth discussing.

As long as I'm not forced to hear about it every 3 minutes, see pictures of the kid (or of her breastfeeding it); I have no problem with it.

She got the job because it is believed she can do that job well. Having a baby will not change that. She will do fine!
