I have had this question for some time in my mind and
I am bringing this out for open debate on this topic.

It might seem, that these days to see Woman as head of a organisation
or leading another bunch of women and men in the organisation is quite
a common place. I would though like to know how many of these woman
have successfully managed their career and their Family life ? I have
come to know of lots of women have had either to give up one or
another and they have always seemed to do this with some regret.

I have also observed that those women who think they are the
independent kind seem to be the most confused or worst effected ones
since they take their sense of independence and convert it into a
unbending and non compromising attitude which if married kills the
marriage or else if unmarried they become extremely closed to
compromise and they get rigid and most end up getting more and more
cynical about Men. But again all these are general observations and
personal experience.

Another thing is why do women have to behave in a absolutely Positivly
Woman (Traditional type Makeup, act Dumb et al) or the other side of
them like Morden so called Libbers (Don't shave Legs, Dont use perfume
kind) Why can't there be more of Natural woman who know that men know
they need us as much as we need them and there is no need to act
highty and mighty or even dumb (which they ar'n't) I mean spare the
artificialities, do they actually need them??

Lastly Is it true that most (I am not genralising) Woman who try and
achieve a name for themselves do it
1)Out of running of the so called Drudgery of family life
2)Out of a Bad experience in their life
3)Out of basic interest in the field they have chosen

I would appreciate any kind of feedback on these questions more out
of interest in this area than bringing up a controversy.
