[ via Radio Free Beowulf ] About a telling photograph of Enron whistleblower Watkins, and highly suspect executive Skilling.
“The faces and attitudes McNamee captures so vividly are integral to the still pervasive belief that women in the workplace must be more than exceptional to survive and succeed, making them vulnerable then to charges of being lesbian, men-haters or “unbalanced.” Whereas, it is an equally pervasive condition in our culture that the men’s club in authority takes advantage of its position and false privilege at every step. Above all, in business as in domestic matters, male bullying (rooted in terror, I think) still tries to exclude women from natural, open, equal discourse. It happens in the office, and it happens in bed. No amount of “advances” in women’s rights should kid us that the problem is diminished or even in retreat.”
