Thanks for mentioning the book. I look forward to your comments. It strikes a cord with a lot of people and I’m pleased to see the openness to the message rather than pre-judgement. It isn’t about women becoming men. Rather women understanding the things men talk about when they aren’t in the room. Positive blog and great information here.

Best,

Chris.

Thank you for the comment on my blog .

It was one of the easiest posts I’ve ever written as all the points are heartfelt and I didn’t have to think much. I’m sure everyone who knows you can relate to all of the opinions I jotted

@Shri – what an incredible post! I just left you a comment there

By my comments I mean that I can think of no women that launch products in the $297 and up range, none that charge hundreds of dollars a month for membership sites, etc.

Personally the debate does not matter to me. While I like to see successful women and look up to them, I don’t want them to be successful for bragging rights.

Oh and I can absolutely attest that Lynn wears makeup to conferences

I am really excited to read your post about the book, and I also enjoyed to read the comments on that post.

I’ve been doing some additional research on the author, Chris Flett. His company is “GhostCEO” (www.GhostCEO.com) and his book is a bestseller. I found it on Amazon here. Anyway, he was in the NY Times last Sunday under the “Career Couch” and he makes reference to women’s blogs like yours so I thought you might like to connect. I’d like to see you interview him and see what he’s all about. I saw on another blog he was a guest blogger. His email is: chris@ghostceo.com

Best wishes,

Bihter.

I don’t have a lot to say about gender bias in IM, but I do have a post (few points I jotted a while ago) about you & clicknewz.

You are awesome and you will always be. I love your webinars, (pbly coz of small close-knit group attendees) but ‘d love the opportunity to attend a live event.

Rasby- you are welcome to use my comments here on ClickNewz, and to mention the source as well. As for reader comments, you’ll need to get individual permission from those you’d like to use.

I’ve followed all of the “gender debate” discussions with great interest since one of my research areas is gender (I’m a sociologist at University of North Carolina at Pembroke and the co-coordinator of the interdisciplinary Gender Minor on our campus).

I have a couple of questions. Would anyone object to me using your comments (anonymously) in my research on this issue?

Second, if there are those of you who would be willing to answer some additional questions about your experience and perspective of gender on the internet, would you please send an email to my school address: rasby.powell@uncp.edu.

I am equally interested in how both men and women experience gender so please don’t hesitate to reply if you are male ) I’m a male friendly gender researcher (having had a great dad and two pretty remarkable sons, myself).

Also, if any of you have friends who might be willing to answer any questions, please send them my way.

For those of you who do not know this already, all research is guided by an internal review board that checks for ethical use of data and to make sure that we guarantee complete confidentiality and anonymity to our subjects (that would include the name of this website as a source of data if any of you are O.K. with me using your words).

I think there is still a big difference in certain careers’ or organizations’ responses to women in their groups. (Deborah Tannen is another author I have enjoyed reading who discusses gender in the workplace, as well as in other social settings.)

However, one of the benefits of the internet is to level the playing field because the thoughts / writing / work of the individual takes center stage (in some instances may be the only information that’s known).

I don’t think you should do things any differently than you have been. I am very impressed with your postings and webinars.

Thank you for all your hard work,
Shonda
