Do you want to borrow my partner's Audrey Landers LPs, along with her New Wave make-up? She will have a make-up palette that will suit your eyes.
You could pretend it's the 80s again.
Thank you GM for the kind offer but that won't be necessary... 
So you don't want look like a celebrity crush from the 80s, Roseanne Cash?

Great points, Wyot. The female managers I've had have been no worse than the males and one of the best managers I've had was a woman.
Thanks Jo. The best manager/boss I ever had was a female, and also the worst was.
I think you are correct in that people too quickly draw generalisations about females (or males) in whatever roles based on the worst examples they encounter.
And they will be looking for the worst examples, anyway, to confirm their own initial opinions/bias... |

I think women lack the self-confidence that a lot of men seem to non-reflectively possess; and which has no necessary link to their abilities.
I think women more often accept nuance in argument than men, too. Or that they might be wrong. This will be used by some men as evidence of "weakness". Of course I am generalising and some men have these skills too.
Men seem often as a result to have more obvious leadership qualities, but it is leadership of a certain kind that has been set up by...men...
Which is why Thatcher was criticised by some for being more of a male politician than a male; which in a sense was true.
With the world as it is I think we would greatly benefit from genuinely female leadership at present.

Great points, Wyot. The female managers I've had have been no worse than the males and one of the best managers I've had was a woman. There have been and still are plenty more female political leaders around the world than May or Truss. But if one considers women to be intrinsically inferior, I expect that one will tend to home in on the failures and hold them up as indicative of the majority. |
