Argh, I knew I shouldn't have used a broad description of male behavior and narrow one of the female.
The male equivalent of what I described here would be when two managers shouting against each other in ever stronger terms that they are more important and have more authority than the other until one backs down.
Equally destructive I believe, but something you'd never see a woman engage in.
- tptacek 15y agoI think you're writing these comments with the best intentions but also that you should probably stop digging.
- mtrimpe 15y agoYou're probably right. I tried to get a positive message across (i.e. 'Embrace your femininity to your advantage.') I ended up sounding vindictive though, probably because I am at some level. It's hard to publicly talk about this and even harder to find the right constructive tone between the indignation, anger and resentment that (for me) have accompanied my non-standard gender identity. And even though I don't know what to make of the large number of downvotes, I'm still glad I tried. :)
