Bitch is Back

For a woman, double standards are a way of life. I am sure you all agree. A woman has a one night stand - she is a slut. A man has a one night stand - he is just being "a man". A man is assertive, he is a good business man...a woman is assertive and she is a bitch. I am sure Hillary Clinton would thoroughly agree with me on this.

I have argued about Hillary Clinton at length with my dad. He says "she is cold, she comes off as a bitch" in which my response is "oh, because she is confident and strong willed in a man's world and industry?". To this I say with pride...Bitch is Back.

If in client meetings or with vendors I come off as "a bitch", I know I am doing a great job because I am arguing my point, getting stuff done and saving money. To this and to all of the other women I encounter like this I say - BRAVO! Don't be ashamed to be "the bitch", I am not saying you should walk around the office like your poop smells like roses but have a little faith in yourself and see what doors will open for you. Nobody wants a flim-flammer, jellyfish working for them, trust me. When you are in a position to work with vendors, if they smell blood, they will attack. Stay confident and strong and don't ever let them smell blood.

Keep truckin' ladies. Keep your head up.

With love, from one proud "bitch" to another.
