And I agree completely. But I still don't see why a PNM who is having a hard time accepting the answers they are getting needs to be attacked. If they want to live in denial, that is fine. Someone can choose not to listen to what we are telling them. But why does it have to end up in personal attacks and rude comments? Why don't we, as women who supposedly represent the finest in womanhood, take the high road?

I'm all for supporting PNMs who are lost in the process. I just won't coddle someone who doesn't listen. Babying people isn't always the best approach. If they want to learn and grow, they've got to accept some harsh realities.
And I agree. But being honest doesn't mean being downright rude which is what I have seen numerous times here.

No, we aren't. We're Greek women who represent 26 fine organizations committed to providing women with outstanding opportunities to grow as individuals.

I can honestly say that I'm glad I don't know which NPC group you represent here. I find your attitude very sad.
