Beautiful, talented women who
want to move up the ladder. Powerful men who hold all the cards. It’s a
blueprint for disaster and a scenario available to us 24 hours a day.
You know what frosts my
cookies? Major news channels yammering on and on about the incredible gall and
criminal behavior of Harvey Weinstein. Has it occurred to those in charge they

on the wall when powers that be review the tape of a female applicant?
Stroking chin thoughtfully, the
big boss says, “Hmm, her chin’s a little weak and she definitely needs a boob
job. No problem, we can take care of that.”
Heaven forbid, the female
anchor should look like a real woman, not one put together by a committee of
men. Maybe in my next lifetime.
