I got this postcard today for a workshop called "Working Women: Strategies for Success." It promises to help: Eliminate 101 self-defeating behaviors, Learn eight ways to get ahead without sacrificing your femininity and Find out the top mistakes women make that keep them from getting rich.
I can you tell the first mistake is paying $65 for this workshop. "Sacrificing my femininity?" Anyone else find that offensive? One of those 101 self-defeating behaviors would be letting other people tell you that you even have to consider femininity as a factor in your career success. And I thought we'd come so far in breaking the glass ceiling for my generation. Because the citizens of my state whom I work for really care whether I am girlie enough to get them access to quality health care. Who knew my lipstick shade and hemline could save lives?
