What women notice now is that at entry level, at intern level, at cutesy office mascot level, there's less sexual discrimination in male dominated professions like high tech and finance. Yet wait until they try to move out of entry level or better yet, to supervising and managing teams that are all or mostly men. Then…

Well, not like Iron Man rich or Batman rich...wait they are fictional characters.

Now...how does this explain Scrooge? Or every single soap opera where rich people aren't happy? Bah... I've often asked myself, is Larry Ellison or the Walmart kids truly happy? Sure they are rich as crap, but are they happy?

Or maybe it was just empty with the partner she had. Maybe with no alcohol or drugs she realized there was no there, there. The act was empty, a performance without any care or equality.

When I read the first sentences of this story, I thought - how sad. What does she get out of the sex? I think there's a problem here besides some sort of substance addiction going on and that is that sex is a performance for the other. When you try to fit yourself into that bottle of always being pressured to be the…

"Why can't each family just make that decision for themselves?"

Next headline: ADD people and kids tend to cluster too, so they must be catching it from one another.

When it comes to the company being guilty or management being guilty, HR will make sure they document things to preserve the power of those above you and set them up to where, if you sue, they are protected.

You know, you don't HAVE to do an exit interview. There are many avoidance strategies. Once you have given notice, you really are under no obligation to help that company out of its problems. They are now your competition.

By the way there is a great comedy performance on Louis CK's site by Tig Notaro. One of the funniest lines in the act is when - after she had pneumonia, got hospitalized for a month with a bacterial infection literally eating her insides, then her mother dies, then she gets diagnosed with cancer - as she is getting a…

What's weird is that the margin of being legally able to have a sex life is so narrow. If you are just average weight, you are considered to be fat. There is a hatred toward women's bodies and it's not just the men doing the hating.

Aw, Cuddles, you're back!

When I suggested that you were a legend in your own mind at work, now I'll say it directly: you are a legend in your mind. It's a shame that more women aren't promoted, but more of a shame when women live in a fantasy land that being the office Cuddly mascot is going to get you respected.

Liar.

I have great success. I am a leader of a division of a tech company. And as I said, the first female hire in any tech leadership position in fifteen years. And the sole female now. Not bitter professionally. Actually quite successful with high pay. I wish there were more females in my position in this male dominated…

Good one. I look forward to seeing the children's story narrated by Megan Mullally.

You know, as a woman who is in the executive ranks in tech, I often get asked - how can more women get up there. Likewise, how can male bias against women be addressed? How do you talk to the dude at work who only considers you flirt material, not material they'd ever compete with. Turns out, the conversation with…

You know. I never said leading was scaring the shit out of people. You said that. Quite revealing. Because that is my point. Wheedling is not leading. It is not also the only choice for a woman, with the other being "scaring the shit out of people."
