This is agist, I know, but I do have hope that things are going to begin to change once all the men born pre-1960 retire.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-45950702584115107092008-07-02T21:31:00.000-04:002008-07-02T21:31:00.000-04:00The Harvard Business Review just published an arti...The Harvard Business Review just published an article about why women leave science and tech jobs <A HREF="http://harvardbusinessonline.hbsp.harvard.edu/hbsp/hbr/articles/article.jsp?ml_action=get-article&articleID=F0806A&ml_issueid=null&ml_subscriber=true&pageNumber=1&_requestid=15296" REL="nofollow">here</A>.

I'm ...hahaha, thank you for making me laugh again! I'm not the only one wondering if the world has gone insane lauding the improvements in women's work life - hah! Only 2% run the richest companies! No, women are all at the bottom running their own business, sick of hitting the glass ceiling in their jobs and taking orders from men. <BR/> and if women were CEO's...there would be weeks of sick time given every year for mothers and fathers to use with their children up to at least age 10!!! One week is ridiculous, one fever and that's three days gone! Say, 5 weeks of sick time, that could carry over, so that when your child comes down with chicken pox and the endless flu, you don't run out of family time halfway through the first week of chicken pox!!!<BR/> Oh...and we'd end those stupid light day pads commercials on tv. who needs wings in their underwear??? we'd invent environmentally friendly pads/hygenic things quickly enough too. <BR/> And will someone please tell the fashion industry that plus-size women like to wear fun things too, not just muumuus and polka dots (gaah! and huge flowered things too!), and could we have stylish, pretty women's shoes that are size 8, 9, 10, and even 11 in extra wide????? Cinderella comes in all shapes and sizes!!!<BR/><BR/>thanks, as ever, Emily :-) for writing interesting, funny posts!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-10966485275615618052008-07-01T19:12:00.000-04:002008-07-01T19:12:00.000-04:00NS, oh yes, strollers, and cribs and car seats, wh...NS, oh yes, strollers, and cribs and car seats, while we're at it.<BR/><BR/>IM, good point.

If women designed them instead of men, they would have a much larger shopping basket, a built-in drink holder, a brake that doesn't require stomping, lifting and latching simultaneously and some kind of built-in shield that pops out and around the child at the slightest hint of inclement weather or blazing sun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-64071639512115089492008-07-01T09:07:00.000-04:002008-07-01T09:07:00.000-04:00Thanks, Mandarine.
