Well, I’m here to tell you something that may brand me a hater of my own sex in some psyches: a majority of women suck in the workplace. That’s right. I’m a woman and I stand by this statement 100 percent.

The reason why the majority of women suck in the workplace, in my opinion, is that we have a hard time letting go of our personal insecurities when we are around other women, whether at work or at a cocktail party, and in turn, become psychotic. In other words: we become crazy bitches.

PRIMARY PROJECT

The Round City
a writing project

A historic fiction novel set in 13th century Baghdad, just before the fall of the Abbasid Empire.

Great article. Way to encapsulate what we all go through. I never thought it would affect me so much either, but here I am.... Thanks for giving a voice.

re: china

re: a one-sided struggle

re: i don't want to disembowel myself...

I found it sad that you are encountering such difficulties. Please don't give up. Your writing really is quite brilliant.
