Probably a few, though I suppose many women have resigned themselves to the fact and just try anyway. Kind of a "oh yeah? Watch ME buster!"

Where I work, we have seen the "Old Girls" network (as opposed to the Old Boy's network women lamented for so long.) We're supposed to have come a long way, baby, not fashioned ourselves after male corporate mentality.

But, these are tough women, tougher than I, so I don't begrudge them their accomlishments. I just wish we had kept our "kinder, gentler" ways.
