I am often perplexed at the way women see themselves. Have you ever seen advertisements for the "Business Women's Expos" that roll into town every once in a while? They offer lots of lectures about fashion, hormones, cooking and sex. Not much in the way of managing your finances or planning for retirement or starting your own business (you know, MAN stuff). Do women actually find these events empowering as a tool to "make it to the top"? I think they are quite demeaning.
