"Setting oneself apart from other women, showing a monumental disdain for collegiality in so distinctively not “dining together”, and adopting the arrogance of executive dependency upon the lowly assistant who must tend to every need - including serving a personalised lunch - no doubt resonates with the male corporate crowd."
After a comment like that I think that I have a fairly good understanding of the authors committment to equality.
She appears to see feminism in terms of advancing women rather than seeking a society where individuals can prosper according to their individual talents and drive.
I hope she is right that not many of her type of feminist are getting board positions.
Now people who actually want equality, who will work for paternity leave and flexible hours for fathers with some of the same vigor as they work for issues impacting woman specifically, thats a different story.
