For advice of that kind there are better sites than the Gulch. Fact is, too often people want to tear others down. Usually it is the less talented and less successful against the more so.

A story
London, England, The Blitz, 1940/41
Ports,factories, depots, and now homes were bombed.
Under the city there was a big office, it received reports of bomb damage and directed emergency services such as fire and ambulance. At the close of a very busy shift a woman stood up to leave, then collapsed. .. Early in the shift that woman had processed the news of her own home, she had nowhere to go, and maybe no-one alive in her family. She, and the others, had worked non-stop without pause.

Just minutes ago I came across this-

An American site but a news item from India. A TV reporter went to an accident, she reported a fatality deadpan calm as she saw who it was. Not until after her report ended did she tell- the dead man was her husband.

Gulch readers want to hear about achievement, struggle, heroism. Fact or fiction, yes we can learn from Dagny Taggart.

My sister, 18 months my senior, cattily used to say, 'There is no man shortage in Houston, SHE is hogging them all'. It wasn't beauty darling, it was brains. Men don't appreciate dumb women, no matter how beautiful. They are boring. Men like a challenge.

Tell them you have a uterus and a brain and perhaps they can eventually do the same. N

From a male perspective, (not that it matters, the advice is for any man or woman)
Let go of it! Don’t lower yourself to their level by playing their petty games. Rise above them and learn the lesson along with wisdom of “letting go”. You will find that by “letting go”’ you are no longer feeding their ego nor their narcissism !

I am having second thoughts about being womens only thread. I believe that men can have insight on this issue too. Please everyone feel free to share your advice, not just women. Thank you!
