How insulting is it to suggest the best thing women can do is raise other people to do incredible things?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think women hold all the answers, but with their skills, their strengths, we can get to a better place.
Some women are smarter than men, and some aren't. But to suggest to women that they deserve dominance instead of equality is at best a cheap applause line.
We're not going to pay attention to the silliness and the petty comments. And quite frankly, women have joined me in this effort, and so it's not about appearances. It's about effectiveness.
I believe that I can do more for women by being the best at what I do in the role that I have than going out and just talking about how women are awesome and you shouldn't mess with them.
You can't raise the standard of women's morals by raising their pay envelope. It lies deeper than that.
It's one thing to work women into your talking points. It's another to tell them how you are going to educate their kids, how you are going to ensure they get health care, how we are going to rebuild infrastructure, how they are going to get equal pay.
It's wonderful that we're portraying women in this way so that young women can see that women actually are strong and capable of accomplishing all kinds of things.
Women may give lip service to wanting husbands who take on an equal role in raising children, but many will pull rank when an important decision, like how to discipline or what baby sitter to hire, has to be made.
Women are often meeker in meetings and afraid to ask for raises and promotions. I've told countless female colleagues to stop apologizing when they ask for more. It's not personal, it's business.
People think anything done from a woman's perspective is only going to appeal to women.
