At work I report to MK. She is a high powered Purchasing Agent (Purchasing Goddess as she's called). She talks like a sailor, is not afraid of any subject, and you absolutely can not go wrong with someone who will be absolutely honest with you absolutely ALL the time. I'm very fond of her husband too....(not how you thought this was going to go............. huh.........pervs).

Today we were trying get some product released about 5 minutes before an east coast distributor closed. She was rappin fast, doin her "schtick". She exclaimed, "but you don't understand, I have REALLY BIG B00B$!" .......and gave me that look like "say something". I said, "it's true, she does". On the other side of the phone Tom laughed, and Cheryl said, "Well so do I!" It was a demented and very fun conference call. We got the product.

MK owns what she says, laughs about it, and makes no apologies. She earns well, and is no push over.

However, I was thinking that feminists with 1960s-80s ideals might be appalled at this type of "maneuvering" (for lack of a better term).

Am I alone or wrong in my observation that (it seems) somewhere along in the early 90s that a large demographic of women (American women anyway) started to take on a less hard line
approach to upward mobility? Was it about this time when women started to play with and use their sexuality in a more overt and unapologetic manner (without losing "themselves")?

shameless "bump"
I'm *really* curious.

G'nite All

90's lemme think... Madonna. Its her fault

boring

got a pic?

I agree Joel. I think women realized during the 90's that they don't have to follow the "hard line" of the feminist doctrine that preceeded them. They are following their instincts rather than a group of radicals. Alot of women chose to get out of the workplace and become moms. And the women who stayed in the workplace are taking a softer approach towards upward mobility. It seems to be working. More women are becoming CEO's, entreprenours, etc. More women are graduating college than men.

Right Ken. It seems like in the workplace it's not so intensely focussed on breaking down the "old boys club". Obviously not totally, but a big majority of the "old boys club" is history.

Women seem to be getting in the board rooms and mixing it up with "everything" they have realizing that the 60s-80s approaches are antiquated, rigid, and the a-sexual approach to business is "boring".
