Hmmmm

Two posts in a day? Just too many things to comment on.

“Female authority is still associated with childhood, and the last time a lot of powerful guys saw a powerful woman they were eight, and they feel regressed to childhood by a powerful woman in a way that they don’t feel with a man.”

- Gloria Steinem, on why there aren’t more women in power. (via cheatsheet)

Well, when I read this, I'll take it as a compliment! Because the way I interpret that comment by her, the guys who embrace female authority are actually more manly than the men she describes. They are evolved. They are not threatened. They have grown up from being a child.
