http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/12/opinion/goldberg-women-hard-on-each-other/index.html?hpt=hp_c2 cnn-In 1976, Jo Freeman published an essay in Ms. Magazine titled, "Trashing: The Dark Side of Sisterhood," which described how groups of women within the feminist movement attacked and ostracized those seen as too visible or ambitious. "To do something significant, to be recognized, to achieve, is to imply that one is 'making it off other women's oppression' or that one thinks oneself better than other women," she wrote. The piece struck a chord, receiving more letters in response than anything else the magazine had printed. As various over-the-top denunciations of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, the avowedly feminist author of "Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead," suggest, it remains depressingly relevant decades later. Not all the critiques of "Lean In" have been unfair or unduly personal, but there has been enough viciousness directed toward Sandberg to indicate that a lot of women, some self-described feminists among them, still have a problem with female power.
There are 3.4 billion women on the planet. It is ridiculous to think that they all would or should agree on everything, "sisterhood" is an illusion. Has the author of the article ever stopped to think that even in a world devoid of men, women will still have issues with each other. Not because of their gender, but because women are human beings. And human beings are selfish, greedy, jealous, deceitful, assholes. No matter which gender they are.
what its about the uproar over a book here is an article on it.... http://www.timesdispatch.com/busine...cle_e1b9cac6-d964-5a0c-a0e9-81b3c2f53fb6.html
Great post !!! Marissa, the new CEO of Yahoo is experiencing the same thing. Feminists complains of the "glass ceiling", yet when one of them breaks it, they complain about that. HUMANS !!!! Male or female, we are all the same.
