Because if you speak up about frivilous women's issues, then you're not labeled as CEO anymore, you're just "another whiny woman".

The expectations of women in our society go beyond Madonna/Whore. It's Whore/Androgny---especially if you want to be at the top, or as close to the top as you'll be allowed to get

A woman in power has to be more than a man. She has to be a superMan. Not only must she shed, hide, or kill every aspect of her femininity and show masculine traits, but she must be MORE masculine than the men (which goes along with in this world, as a woman, you have to do twice the work of men to get half the recognition).

Yes. And to speak up about women's issues will make her seem...even if in the slightest bit...feminine. ANd feminine=weak. Feminine = stupid. Feminine = cries about everything.

I hate it. I have no children as of yet, and have always wanted a girl if/when I have one. But I don't know.....the fact that she has a vagina will mean that every odd imaginable will be stacked against her---JUST because of some folds of flesh. :sad:
