Are Women Dumb about Math?
Boston University journalism professor Caryl Rivers wrote an article this week (WomensENews, March 9) about two Harvard grads who want to see all speech and anti-harassment codes banished at the university. They claim that firing the Harvard president in 2006 for saying women are inferior at math was detrimental to the "robust culture" of free speech on campus.
The truth is, then president Larry Summers had long
What face are you wearing?
I was late to my exercise class this morning so I couldn't work out in front of the mirror. However, from my vantage point, I could see the faces of the other women in class. There seemed to be three faces the women could wear:
1. A grimace. These women were working hard through their pain. They scowled and grunted. They were determined to tough it out.

A number of you shared your results from the VIA Signature Strengths Questionnaire on www.AuthenticHappiness.com. Thank you.
What I found so amazing was how we were all so similar in what was at the bottom of the list, even more so than what was on top. In other words, high-achieving women may value different things in life. Yet we are similar in what is not so

When she met her boyfriend, he was the marketing VP for a well-known global corporation. During their relationship, he moved on to creating his own consultancy. Their travels and changes in their lives made for a bumpy relationship.

It’s not all about the winning
I live in Phoenix, Arizona, home of the Arizona Cardinals football team. Karl, my life partner, is from Philadelphia. We went to the playoff game this weekend. He wore his Philadelphia Eagles hat. At the end of the game, there was a pile of cups, not all completely empty, that Cardinals fans threw at him. Where's the love man?
We like rooting for the winning team and harassing the "others." I
Will you forgive me?
Sorry if you wanted to hear my ICF presentation. I was so happy when I figured out how to link audio to my blog posts that I didn't read what formats it would accept. If you want a copy of the presentation, respond to this post and I will email it directly to you. Another reminder of when my enthusiasm, and impatience, give me trouble.
