KNOW WHY WOMEN AREN’T GETTING PROMOTIONS? CAN’T BLAME THIS ON REPUBLICANS!!
The recent article published in the Atlantic on “The Confidence Gap” is just another example of the Left’s silent war on women under the guise of Feminism, and exactly the kinda thing that, frankly, makes me want to kick their ass.
The authors, Claire Shipman (left), a reporter for ABC News, and Katty Kay (right), the anchor of BBC World News America. In two decades of covering American politics, they have interviewed some of the most influential women in the nation. They were surprised to discover the extent to which these women suffered from self-doubt. (Henry Leutwyler)
According to this article, the number one reason women continue to fail in breaking through the glass ceiling is their own lack of self-confidence. The authors’ own personal descriptions do nothing to exude confidence; Katty is described as entertaining the notion that her “public profile in America was thanks to her English accent,” which surely, she suspected gave her a few extra IQ points every time she opened her mouth.” Can you you say superficial?
But, it gets worse. The entire article goes on to say how women in general predict they will do worse on tests, get passed over for hard-fought promotions, and do not see validity to their own worthiness. They even go so far as to say that maternal instincts are a problem and that, ultimately, we don’t have confidence because we are women. It becomes a matter of biology and brain waves at that point; we’re just not built the same. It’s clear these two have their own confidence issues and it’s just easier to blame it on biology. Women are just not risk takers, they say, and are constantly second-guessing their own personal validity.
Of course they do! They’ve got women like Shipman and Kay subtly inferring they’re not good enough! Turn on Oprah’s network and at any given time some self-improvement guru is on, telling women the latest way to lead happy fulfilled lives as if the lives they are living are somehow deficient and there’s something wrong with their methods up to this point. The Liberal media inundates us with the idea that we as women are somehow “broken” and need to be “fixed”. Hollyweird produces movies with strong female leads that include some emotional flaw requiring a man to sort it out. Women are either corporate ball busters or home with the kids. NOWHERE do you ever see a strong, confident women also portrayed as wise and compassionate, as if those qualities are completely exclusive of one another. Women with careers and families run antithesis to the Feminist Manifesto, a movement that has done more to destroy women than empower them because its very premise asserts that we’re not good enough to begin with! As for the men? This article cite studies that “prove” men think they’re “all that” by nature, and these two seem quite bitter about it: “Infuriatingly, a lack of competence doesn’t necessarily have negative consequences”. Let’s just level the playing field some more. It’s not fair. Waaa.
Bitch, please.
Women are born risk takers. Ever given birth? That’s a fairly risky proposition you don’t know you’re capable of until you’re in it. But, Shipman and Kay don’t bother to mention that, doing a lot of whining about why women are underconfident and offer no substance for empowerment. Typical Liberal tripe: let’s blame it on men, or biology or the difference in our synaptic brain impulses.They don’t bother to mention that confidence, and from it the desire to take bigger risks, first comes with taking responsibility for yourself…..
