More Yahoo Sexism: Check out the picture you receive when you make it to L2:?

Question

http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sch/gr2/level2photo.jpg

note the hair pin.

Can anyone share a photo from Yahoo emails when you reach other levels. For obvious reasons, I am forever doomed to level 2 and below.

Answer 1

....and this surprises you because?

Answer 2

I'm confused... It is sexist because it's a picture of a woman? Or because the woman has hair pins in her hair?

I hope you're joking...

Answer 3

Oh man. This is a website for little girls....  : (

Answer 4

Well, according to marketing research, women are 'perceived' as being friendlier. I think that's all it is (gosh, I HOPE that's all it is!).

Remember when we had 'voices' in cars? 'They' used female voices for the computers because more people felt at ease with a female's voice. So, I'm guessing it's just that. Nothing personal on YA's part.

Best wishes. ♥ ∞

Answer 5

I just made it to level six, and to tell you the truth, it was the first time I ever paid attention to the photo.  Why?  Because it was of a little boy....one too young to be on Yahoo Q&A!

What's up with sending a child's picture?!

Answer 8

How do you know that the person in the picture is a woman? It could just as easily be a transvestite. ;)

Congrats on reaching level 2!

Answer 9

Why don't you tell Yahoo what kind of picture you'd prefer.  Perhaps a hermaphrodite of undeterminable heritage would be more to your liking?

Answer 10

What about the hair pins?

I guess Yahoo thinks that more women would come to Answers to chat and ask questions.  Maybe they do not think it is a manly thing to do.  Maybe they think Men would be out working, or playing football... What sexist!  After all it is evidence that men whine too.

Answer 11

I would never know, I've never made it past L1.
