Is she a value threat to you? Keep her out

, LEAP redaktie, LEAP
A new study from Washington University in St. Louis revealed that women in high profile management roles often do not support other qualified female candidates as potential colleagues. The author, Michelle Duguid, assistant professor of organizational behavior, explains this lack of sisterhood by a concept called 'value threat.' In short it works like this: If you are the only woman in a leadership team, you might fear that another highly qualified female candidate for the team is more qualified, competent or accepted than you are. She poses a 'competitive threat' to you and you will therefore not support her. If you perceive the other female candidate as less qualified than you are, you won't support her either because you are afraid it would reinforce negative stereotypes about 'token women'. And thirdly, if the other female candidate is just fine: you might still withhold support for fear of being accused of favoritism. read more >

Are you MOM ENOUGH to do this?
Mon 14 May 2012, Maurice Eykman, LEAP
Are you MOM ENOUGH? Weird question, but Time would like to know.
To be able to answer it however, you would first have to know what enough is. Apparently breast feeding your child till it is a 4-year old will qualify. (Arghh, at what age does breastfeeding become incest?). The cover story of Time is all about attached parenting. Attached as in glued. To be mom enough you have to spent 24 hours glued to your child. For years! Carry them around in a sling, sleep with them in one bed and breastfeed them till they graduate. That makes you mom enough and gives your child a chance to become….become what actually? An attached child?read more >
