I’m not. There’s no financial gain to be had by me by contributing to this blog.

I think that bringing up the topic of sexism is perhaps one of the hardest topics to talk about in a public forum. The likely responses you get are:

1)What’s wrong with you-the person complaining?
2)Do you always think people are ganging up on you?
3)You must be imagining things.
4)Nobody is that stupid to pull that crap on anybody these days!

It’s perhaps easier to take the middle of the road approach that times have changed and that women overreact when they expose flare ups of the old boys network. And, its a lot easier to tell the gal to “carry on,” “onward and upward.”

But, like the flareups of some physical ailments, the sexism flareup is hard to sit on and stifle because it’s simply too painful.

Do women in positions of power have the ability to cause painful flareups of sexism, and/or arrogant boss syndrome? You bet. Does it hurt any less? What do you think.

When a lady like Getgood, with many years of successfully speaking for and marketing a product starts complaining about sexism standing in her way on the job, there’s bound to be more to the story.

As for the rest of you–it’s just easier to say, “I’m beyond that stage in my career.” Or,
“Men are beyond that along the evolutionary path of humanity.”

Humans are creatures that do what it takes to forge alliances for survival. When all other commonalities fail get you bonded with the folks you need to make money–pick your gender!

It’s not a dreadful situation as it was say in 1956 perhaps. But I think sometimes people just want excuses and using the men woman thing is there and easy to use to people’s advantages.

I certainly wish it weren’t that way.
