this link has been posted TWICE on this site..try to read it..And if you t hink the construction industry is different than the landscape architecture business, you must be some kind of IT guy and never have to go out on a site..How…[Read more]

You think women who are suing Wal-mart are paid less because they are ‘timid’? And it seems you actually don’t think they are even paid less..
wow. welcome to  your own anecdotal world, divorced from statistics or reality.. do  you know what the Lucy Ledbetter decision was? Read up on it, and how the Supreme Court denied her, and on what g…[Read more]

wow, andrew, next thing you know white men will be telling women what is best for their bodies, while making sure viagra is covered in all health plans. NO, that couldn’t happen!
like you said, Tanya, “Pretend it doesn’t exist, and it won’t.”
I would LOL but it aint funny.

north arrow must be UP! Unless it isn’t. (can’t fit drawing properly…). Then be consistent throughout the drawing set.

article in todays Huff. Post re: women architects..Not totally relevant to us LA’s….

@Heather, you are insane..I made the comment with qualifications, every single time..I called it a cliche, I said I was looking for new paradigms, I said it was personal experience, (I thought it was obvious that I felt the stereotype of the passive woman needed to be turned on it’s head.)
 
Stop stabbing me in the back, and try to read an entire…[Read more]

And all I am saying, Heather, is that despite study after study, my experience in the workplace is that men are communal, co-operative – they like to operate like a team..they also LOVE to gossip, love to play sports together, and that is what holds their group together..Women, for some reason, that I have worked with, have not been communally…[Read more]

nrschmid, your argument, your experience is not in contradistinction to ours – it is the same..Why do you deny us that we have experienced discrimination – that is silly.
 
and by the way, as a landscraper in the Hampton in the nineties, and eighties, I really felt like the gay mens club had shut everybody else out…
Your anger, while justified,…[Read more]

ok, different playbooks..still not convinced that any of the women you name compare in stature to guitarist men, but if you don’t know Jim Hall or Joe Pass, we are in different music scenes..I don’t know Joe Satriani or Eric Johnson at all..
 
do you insist that your list of women guitarists, in your music world, are as influential as the men? I…[Read more]

I think when you start using **##@@@ sort of stuff it is pretty much agressive, Heather..No? It is not assertive, it is just agressive..Who do you want to go up against, some mommy with her soccer -playing daughter, or some industry eco-damaging insider, ready to rape the environment? The soccer mom will rip you heart our to defend her baby, and…[Read more]

sorry, tanya, who???
Lita Ford, Kelley Deal..??? keep trying..not convinced! Dont’ know any of them, really..as much as I know Clapton, Pat Metheney, Jim Hall,..
do you really believe what you are saying?
Nancy Wilson is a singer!!! No BS now!
and Joni Mitchell, who I love, as a guitarist?? No..a songwriter/singer..
Sorry, Tanya, I stand…[Read more]

removal of discrimation has been done, Andrew – !!! good god, don’t you know anything about being black in the deep south? You are kidding me..
and it is also obvious that, as the typical white male, you don’t really believe discrimination against women exists!!
It is obvious from your posts..
You need to spend a month in black  face, walking the…[Read more]

sorry, heather, you got it completely wrong..In my experience, men will co-operate, they will gossip, form groups, and collaborate, whereas women will stab each other in the back..
 
Do you see what I am saying? It is the women who are more agressive…The men aren’t!! It is  not women’s agression that we need more of! We need more manly co…[Read more]

sorry, wanted to add – a friend of mine posted this FB thing a few weeks ago – typical FB, “List your top ten favorite guitarists, in two minutes,” or something like that…Easy, right? Eric Clapton, Christopher Parkening, Jeff Beck, etc.
Now have that list include even one woman..It’s a stretch…
So what is up with that?

The inability of women to make progress in the working world is just so – weird – I sometimes really am looking for a new paradigm to understand it..everything has been recorded, documented, and written about for forty years, it seems to me, and there is just some kind of – something – that cannot be moved..
I geuss progress is slow, the wheels o…[Read more]

I think having kids and an unstable job , or no helpful partner, is a sign of lack of planning, recklessness, and lack of interest in your childrens well-being, therefore selfishness, that I do not think is very noble.  People with kids can’t make friends, so they need to reproduce themselves, and then leave the kids at home like dogs, until they…[Read more]

isn’t anybody giving out any scholarships anymore? When I was at Penn, absolutely everyone there except the Saudi’s got money from the school, straight out grants..
I think you have a good list, tho – east coast is the way to go, IMHO..especially Brooklyn..Although UC Pomona won a substantial amount of student awards last year..
