Let's be absolutely clear, shall we?
Did we HAVE to say ANYTHING about the answers at all?
Do we REALLY want you to answer our questions? Is that our goal here? I want you to think LONG and HARD on whether we REALLY care whether or not you simply answer these questions. Think about that for JUST a second..........................................
After you got done thinking, what did you come up with? Do you think that I started this thread because WE wanted to get something from YOU? If so, you are sadly, sadly mistaken and completely and totally missed the point of this thread.
Do you remember back in the day in math class you learned about word problems? Remember the ones that gave you extra information and you had to use WISDOM to discern what was important and what was not? You have to learn to read between the lines.
See, we are not the hostile, rude, disrespectful women you all make us out to be. However, if that is what you want to believe, then please believe it. I am whatever you say I am; if I wasn't, then why would you say I am? (Thanks, Marshall)
In every relationship, there are those with power and those without. Power is often times regarded as a negative characteristic. On the contrary, it is neither negative nor positive; it just IS. It is up to each and every one of us to determine who we are in each of our relationships, the empowered or the powerless. It is important for us to know HOW to interact with those that are in power in order to get what we want. It is just as important to know how to choose our battles. But most important, we have to learn when to let go.
As for me, I have HIGH expectations of women wishing to enter my illustrious organization. If that means that I want responses WITHOUT rhetoric, then so be it. Why? Because I am the gatekeeper. Does that mean you simply don't respond? No. Does that mean that when you do respond and get called on it you get defensive? No. What you do is make sure that NEXT time (if there IS a next time) you COME CORRECT. You frustrated? So what? You mad? Be mad. Let that anger motivate you.
I've said enough. Shoot, I've said too much. Do with it as you will.
