I wonder if it is a womanly condition or simply a human one, for underneath the desire to present a certain way, is a driving force to not be left alone. (I was just considering this this morning responding to someone's post concerning certain religions that impose veils. I was thinking, all cultures have their own veils. We just happen to name our veil <i>freedom</i>.)<br /><br />xo<br />erinWoman in a Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747858840088922077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448988261434615576.post-70012213361564941932010-03-23T07:34:39.579-07:002010-03-23T07:34:39.579-07:00Has much changed?

Do you ever watch "America's Next Top Model"? It's a real eye-opener.<br /><br />Also, unfortunately, a lot of women think they have to become like men in order to move into men's "traditional" careers. In a large office or corporation, the more sombre and dark-colored a woman's clothing is, the higher up the corporate ladder you know she is. Black, brown or grey pantsuits have become the uniform. Somewhere there has to be a happy medium.<br /><br />Very intersting post.
