[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree women like this are always easily kept at arm's length. The whole issue with this personality is that they are pushy and that can impact other people. I have worked for a woman like this and I've dealt with one at my kid's school and both times it was pretty annoying to deal with them frequently pushing for personal advantages or stepping on toes or overreaching. It's not a crisis or anything, but it's a difficult personality type.

I don't know this person but one example of someone with this personality who would drive me nuts if our kids were in school together is that mom who was pushing really hard to redshirt her kid in DCPS earlier this year. I remember reading about that, and seeing interviews with her. Obviously people like that exist and sometimes their behavior has negative impacts on others.[/quote]

Oh no, you were annoyed? People are sometimes difficult?

I love that you probably have, like, a “Rebel Girls” book that’s all about RBG, Rosa Parks, Sally Ride, Susan B. Anthony, and other annoying-ass women who wouldn’t stop being so damn pushy all the time. We encourage our girls to be assertive, invested, dedicated, determined, and outspoken, but then when women in our life actually do that, those pushy broads need to STFU, sit down and stop taking up so much space. How dare they want to influence their communities and advocate for their own best interest, and the best interests of their kids?[/quote]

Uh, if you can't tell the difference between pushing for civil rights and pushing for your kid to get special treatment at their public school, I don't know what to say. No one here is complaining about Rosa Parks. [/quote]

No, you’re just complaining about women acting on all those things we encourage them to do, following the endless examples of women leaders that we claim to admire. We’re just complaining when women are actually assertive, brave, outspoken, take-charge types who, yes indeed, try to influence the world, in ways big and small.

That’s what you’re doing. Own it. [/quote]

Not the PP and this is hilarious.  Really.

I will own it and complain about women who use all their leadership energy to organize a bunch of events for kids they don’t need.   This will continue into high school too for those who have little kids.  Boosters for everything.  We must influence the world by building an extensive process to feed them a gluten free or vegetarian or regular dinner!  We must set it up for them and clean up after them!  It’s inspirational!

And then we wonder why so many of them have trouble functioning as adults.[/quote]

I know a lot of adults, men and women, who act this way but I just…don’t engage are participate. I’m really sorry that you are somehow in a social serfdom where you have to do what they say. Sucks to be you![/quote]
