I love a rant and yes my comment was harsh, but it is my honest opinion. There again generalizations, such as her statement, often attract such a response.

Speaking your mind often has the effect of getting straight to the point without beating around the bush. It also has the pleasant side effect of keeping your social network to manageable proportions.

The true test of an entrepreneur is not judged by success, but a dogged determination to try and try again as a self employed business person. I personally don't regard opting back into the TV celebrity/author route (both effectively employed positions) as fulfilling this criteria.

Ah good point but the bouncing back and admitting your mistake does fill that criteria. Maybe she is just waiting for the next big idea to hit her or maybe she has lost her heart for it. Time will tell I guess. Is she not doing anything with the businesses she invested into on Dragons Den after the fall of Red Letter Days?

After looking at her blog it seems no.

im guessing Rachel only posted that to get some hits on her ill read blog.

it would appear that rachel is a bit of a sexist and feels threatened by men.

otherwise she wouldn't have made the unfounded remark.

no need for the sexist bit, no need at all.

I think it's sad that there can't be differences between men and women without it getting sexist.

In reality there are, hundreds of difference, which come about from situations, background, reality and circumstances and society. And we can shout "SEXISM" from the tops of the buildings, but that doesn't stop the fact that men and women do approach things differently, do think differently, do work differently, and do have different priorities.

And it's a bloomin' good job too, otherwise the world would be a very dark and dreich place.

You're quite correct. The physical differences are obvious - usually. There are emotional differences too, although they are not as obvious. A good leader uses these differences to build a strong and diverse management team. We complement each other, and I see nothing wrong in that. If I'm sexist for stating the obvious, so be it.
