"They so don't understand how uncomfortable most men are around powerful women. When a woman "leans in," they either roll their eyes or run from the room. I've learned in all my life, and most men are terrified of me. Only as I've shrunk to 5'2" and gotten older have they quit perceiving me as some kind of special threat. That being said, most women have a lot of (rightful) fear, and the more they overcome it, the better they will do. I'm for controntation; men hate it and they WILL back down." - Francine Hardaway
