About the PMS aspect: Seems it's been used as an excuse for denying women roles in society ranging from president to military combat. I guess the military would be one place where crying might be legit: if you're crying you can't see your target. – Easier to say than to do

This notion that it's somehow acceptable for women to behave inappropriately in the workplace by having a crying outburst because their hormones make then several times more prone to crying than men is just as ridiculous as the notion that it’s acceptable for men to behave inappropriately in the workplace by having an angry outburst because their hormones make them several times more prone to aggression. In either case, regardless of whatever hormones are driving a person’s emotional urges, their failure to control their outward behavior in a business environment is not appropriate and should not be accepted. Excusing female crying in the work place, “because their hormones made them do it”, while not tolerating hormone-driven male impropriety does not promote equality in any way. It promotes a double standard in favor of the gender that is supposedly battling double standards.

I just stumbled onto this blog site this morning – now I've discovered this is tied to this "Brazen Careerist". I mean no personal disrespect, however professionally, Penelope – you are very narrow minded (and in some cases I've already noticed – downright petty) in the career development field, and I hope young professionals don't take your recommendations too seriously.

[...] I firmly believe there is no need for bullying. There are many women who didn't need to step all over people to get to the top. They weren't passive, but they weren't bullying asses. I encourage women to work for a common cause. Stop trying to be something you're not and remember to be true to yourself while exercising both masculine and feminine qualities as you find a balance. A company that really respects their employees won't care about the gender differences and will hire the right person for the position, regardless of gender. [...]
