Lisa

  I have been watching the "establishmentment" through my eyes, and
through those of several close female friends. My observation is that,
for all the talk about women "banding together to change the world"
that the female in a position of power is far more ruthless than the
male, even in competing with other women. I believe this tendancy has
been documented in some recent studies published in Psychology Today,
but confess I do NOT have a ready reference (perhaps some kind
net.lander can help).  I don't agree with females being discriminatory
any more than I agree with males being discriminatory. Both are
destructive of co-operative effort in the workplace, a much needed
commodoty in the post-80's reality.
