Fortune Magazine's Pattie Sellers has a blog on CNN.com and her blog revealed last week that powerful women push envelopes.
Now, this will surprise regular readers of this particular blog. Not long ago, I posted an important piece on the new Republican-sponsored requirement that all women have their hands held (earlier post "Hand Jive and the Law"). Although the regulations have not been promulgated as yet, women in positions of power clearly must have both hands held, they being unable to advance to the top with unheld hands.
The Fortune blog post deals mostly with the secret need for female execs to meet together. Fortune even has The Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit to accommodate this need. I'll bet there are other more clandestine meetings. Guess what goes on at these meetings.
Do you think "Kumbaya" is sung also? In a soundproofed room. (Can you guess what genus Kumbaya?)
Call me suspicious (silently, not in a comment), but I wonder if Pattie's blog is right. I know that it is Fortune and is on CNN.com, after all, not FOXViews.com, and it does make some sense, since properly held hands can't really lift anything. Still, isn't envelope pushing more of a sec... administrative assistant's job? What, you see the CEO of Pepsi or Dupont peeling-and-sticking stamps, too?
Ultimately, though, I can't see how these top execs would push their envelopes anyway. Aren't their noses too high up... in the air?
