Proudly wore the title "bitch" for all those years I worked in a male-dominated corporate environment...
Strong, powerful and still fair and kind can work well to take down some of that male toxicity...and we are all better for it...men and women now seem to be much happier working together...glad to see it...
Now I will wear the title of "cranky old lady"...sigh
When I was in 4th grade, Miss Minson called my parents in to tell them I was "not very ladylike" (meaning, not quiet, bossy, assertive). I do not miss the 50's At All. Oh, and hey, MISS Minson, how's that ladylike crap working out for you?
