As this list gets off the ground, so many things come
to mind that I want
to
share before i forget. I know we should focus on resolution, but i need
one
more vent email before that happens. lol The following was my pet peeve,
which to some may not be a big deal, but irked the hell out of me because
it
was soooo cliche.
After a while of being there, i started to notice how there was this
indirect manner of discrediting women in leadership positions by
questioning
their sexual relationships. At first, I didn't really notice a pattern,
but
when comments were thrown around with different women, i started to
realize
it was less gossip and more sexist behavior.
Who knows (or even cares) if the allegations were true. However, what I
did
notice was that never was any man's sexual behavior EVER questioned/
EVER.
(and in particularly in that way...which was to paint them power hungry)
Now thats some real bull crap, excuse my language. So it lead me believe
that this was an easy "punch" below the belt. And let me tell you, that
made
me super uncomfortable b/c that is some cliche sexism right there. Which
is
funny b/c even where I grew up (which is REALLY macho) I've never heard
stuff like that.
Thats it for me. now to think of resolutions.

Gender has a little to do with it, if you hurt them, expect some trouble.
By the way the queen bee on that site is a woman.
