For the most part, I prefer to work with men than women. Over the years, I have found female-dominated workplaces to be unfocused and ill-managed, consumed by office politics, less competitive and less ambitious, and I have found male-dominated workplaces to be more focused and better-managed, less consumed by office politics, more competitive and more ambitious.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How to Get a Job Because You\u2019re a Woman – Susannah Breslin – Pink Slipped – Forbes<\/a><\/p>\n

Lovely lady writing at Forbes! And she has more important stuff<\/strong> to say:<\/p>\n

\n

TIP #1: Women\u2019s blogging is a ghetto.<\/p>\n

There are many reasons why women\u2019s blogs have become ghettoized. Women\u2019s blogs focus on issues that matter to women. They form communities that help more women connect to other women. Their singular focus on the female demographic makes it easier to sell them to advertisers.<\/p>\n

This is the problem. They are easy. They are safe. They are comfortable. You\u2019re in the sisterhood, and there\u2019s no need to find out what\u2019s happening on the other side of the wire, beyond that distant ridge.[\u2026]<\/p>\n

TIP #3: Get out of the ghetto.<\/p>\n

Today, it\u2019s women who have ghettoized themselves online. Unsure or unaware of how to compete with the big boys, women bloggers have retreated to the safety of their own lady blog reservations. Purportedly, this is sisterhood. What it looks like is secession. Where\u2019s the empowerment in that?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And of course, this is where she fails to see the supposed empowerment<\/em>. It is not about sisterhood or any of her demeaning claims; it\u2019s about awareness and strength in numbers. Knowing others share your problems, knowing others experience what you experience does not just make the experience more bearable, it also helps you become more alert, more vocal, better educated. For many, this \u201cghetto\u201d she refers to is the first step into a more politically conscious world view, less isolated and more in tune with the collective and the shared history. These \u201clady spaces\u201d as she disparagingly refers to place the personal in the bigger fabric of gender matters. These spaces do what has hardly happened before, they turn the age old \u201cthe personal is political\u201d into \u201cso many similarly personal stories HAVE to be representative of the political\u201d. But I guess she is one of those cases that, because privilege worked so well for her, she believes there is no reason why it shouldn\u2019t work exactly the same way for everyone else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
