My sister got married at 35 after a friend fixed her up on a blind date.
My cousin got married at 32 after meeting a guy through J-Date.
My aunt got married at 38, had a kid at 39.
I know of tons more, but I think three is enough.
Oh wait, my other cousin hadn't been on a date in 10 years, and got married at 42. Had a

Xanax and Ambien.

You put that much better than I could!

That they don't "see" color? More than I can count.

I've never met a person who said that who didn't go on to say something racist.

This drives me crazy. It's like people who say that have to erase color. What it really means is, "I must make you white in my head to make you human."

Not a man. And not a bit sad.

I understand how language changes just fine.

It's non standard, and always the sign of a lackwit at work.

You are right about that. You aren't the smartest person.

Everything about him is beautiful. His body is perfectly proportioned, in my opinion. His eyes radiate warmth and intelligence. He exudes natural authority from every pore.

I assume. The books are terrible. Although I admit to having read a couple. (Hangs head in shame.)

We define "aggressive" differently. Until women unambiguously own our ambition, drive and desire, we will still be on the bottom.

If he really wants to marry her, he'll propose way before that 300th sandwich. If she has any sense, she'll turn him down.

I read what you said as seeing women bosses feeling threats from younger workers more wholly than men bosses do—in your experience.

Why is it that young women think that older women feel threatened by them?

I know very few middle aged professional women who compete with younger women for jobs. We tend to have far more desirable positions because we have worked many more years. Why would we be threatened by anyone, male or female, who couldn't take our jobs?

Maybe, knowing what male lawyers are like, they think they are doing young women a favor by being tough.
That's not my approach with younger women professors, but I can see how some mature women professionals might take this approach.

Maybe they are just tired. Maybe they'd like to retire and can't because their husbands left them for younger women who kowtow to men. Maybe they also are tough on male young attorneys.
Maybe they sense that some (not all) young women today seem incapable of understanding just how horrible law was for women decades ago.
