[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting.  Notice how no men ever start a thread to bash Jeff Immelt when he releases a book.  Women shouldn't be so defensive and insecure that they feel the need to take down a successful woman.[/quote]
This misses the point.  Meg Whitman wrote a book, and no one is complaining about her.  It's because she wrote a book about what she thinks is the secret to her success without professing to be starting a "movement" and admonishing women for not have made the same decisions she made.  If you're going to proactively tell people you know what they need to be doing and profess to be their champion, then you're going to open yourself up to criticism.

If she just wrote a book about her career and included some reflections on which choices she made were helpful to it, no one would be upset.[/quote]

Exactly right.  Sheryl offers her recipe for female success for $14.99 per book and the recipe is - be born wealthy, be born white, be born pretty, go to Harvard, attract a powerful older male mentor, lean in when doors get opened for you, etc.  It's such bullshit.  [/quote]

Plenty of pretty white rich girls who don't go to Harvard and have the career success Sheryl Sandberg has.  This thread makes me sad-a bunch of jealous women attacking one of their own for having the temerity to talk about their secret of her success ([b]while a born rich, multiple bankruptcy claiming Donald Trump whose greatest strength is his ego can brag all day long and no one attacks him for it.)[/b][/quote]

exactly! not a single critical word was ever uttered on these pages about donald trump. everyone is always so respectful toward him. [/quote]
